Helen Howett

Helen Howett is a counsellor who helps adults and couples facing life changes, relationship strain, stress and anxiety. She works with people dealing with grief, parenting pressures, career concerns and eating and food-related issues. Helen aims to offer a calm, listening space where clients can talk things through and start to make practical changes.

She trained in medical science and childhood and youth studies before moving into creative therapeutic work. Helen holds NCPS as a credential. Over five years she has supported people with attachment difficulties, abandonment fears and problems like codependency and control issues.

In sessions she uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches to focus on relationships and the client’s experience. Helen also draws on mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice patterns and build new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Her style is gentle and practical. She aims to help clients understand the roots of their concerns and try small steps that fit day-to-day life. Conversations are aimed at clarity, emotional regulation and gradual change rather than quick fixes.

Helen works from the United Kingdom and communicates in English. She accepts international clients and offers daytime availability, with some evening slots on certain days. Before booking it is sensible to check current session options and times.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Helen uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and responses; this can help when trust, abandonment or close relationships feel difficult. She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions focus on the person in front of her and on what they want to address, rather than following a rigid programme.

These ways of working are used in a simple, collaborative way. Helen will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit those aims. Deciding what helps is a joint process and may change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting appointments around work, avoiding travel, and making it easier to sustain ongoing support alongside daily life. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions allow continuity of care and easier scheduling, and Helen can discuss what will work best for individual needs during the initial matching and booking steps.
