About Helen
Helen Greenaway is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by worry, low self-esteem or stuck in repeating patterns. Helen lists anxiety, stress, sleep problems and relationship and intimacy-related issues among her main concerns.
Helen commonly supports people who are high-functioning on the outside but struggling internally. She helps with persistent self-doubt, imposter feelings at work and difficulty setting boundaries. Night-time overthinking and sleep disruption are also part of her caseload.
Her approach mixes a few practical and reflective methods. Helen uses client-centred listening to help people talk through what matters to them. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to set small, manageable goals.
Helen also mentions psychodynamic thinking for looking at recurring patterns and where they may come from. She includes coaching elements when people want clearer direction for career or life decisions. Issues linked to ADHD, such as rejection sensitivity, are discussed alongside other concerns like anger, compassion fatigue and isolation.
Sessions are offered in English. Helen asks people to use the platform's matching questionnaire to book a first session and to choose the contact method they prefer. The profile advises checking session options before booking to confirm how to connect.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Helen uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy as core tools in online sessions. Client-centred work means the session focuses on the person speaking and what matters to them, giving time to reflect and clarify feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and practical ways to change unhelpful habits and reduce worry.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss aims, try different ways of working and adjust the style based on what the person finds useful. The focus is on clear goals and regular check-ins so both parties can see what is helping.
Session formats are not detailed in this profile, so please confirm the available options before booking. The profile notes that people can choose their preferred contact method when scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins if needed and remove travel time, helping people keep regular appointments alongside work and family commitments.
