Helen Howett

Helen Howett offers calm, practical support for people facing change, loss, stress and relationship strain. She aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow. Helen is named here so you know who you will meet. She holds NCPS and brings five years of counselling experience to her work.

Helen creates a space to talk through what feels hard right now. She listens, helps you sort priorities and looks for small steps that can make daily life easier. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on building clearer ways of coping with anxiety, grief and parenting stresses.

Her background combines medical science with childhood and youth studies, and she describes herself as an accredited creative therapist. That mix informs a practical approach that blends listening with creativity and reflection, depending on what feels useful.

Helen uses ideas from attachment-based, client-centred, mindfulness and psychodynamic approaches. She adapts these to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed formula. People come for help with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, fertility worries, career stress and the heavy work of life transitions.

For practical details she works from the United Kingdom and communicates in English. Helen accepts international clients. To begin, a short questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled to suit the therapist's hours and the client’s needs.

How Helen’s approaches translate to online working

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when someone struggles with feeling close to others, fear of abandonment or repeating relationship cycles.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and helps people find their own solutions for issues like anxiety, parenting strain and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Helen will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and adapt methods so the sessions feel useful and manageable. That collaborative process helps decide whether attachment ideas, client-centred listening or mindfulness practices will be most helpful.

The practical benefits of online working should be checked before booking, because specific session formats are not stated in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access a counsellor in the United Kingdom from elsewhere, supporting international clients without requiring in-person attendance.
