About Helen

Helen Howett, NCPS, offers calm, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting strains, work pressures and relationship worries. She focuses on helping individuals clarify what matters to them and take manageable steps towards feeling steadier. Sessions aim to be down to earth, with clear tools and a listening ear.

Helen trained in medical science and childhood and youth studies, and describes herself as an accredited pleuritic creative therapist. She brings five years of professional experience to her work and uses a mix of talking and creative methods to help people make sense of difficult experiences. Helen supports adults and couples through life changes, grief and trauma related concerns.

In practice she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. Client-centred work keeps sessions focused on each person’s needs and goals, while mindfulness techniques help with managing overwhelming feelings and building calm. Psychodynamic thinking is used to spot repeating patterns that get in the way of change.

Helen describes the therapy space as one where people can speak openly, be listened to and try out different ways of coping. She encourages practical steps you can try between sessions and helps track progress over time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Sessions are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to therapist availability.

How Helen’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence present behaviour and feelings. Online sessions using this approach can help people understand patterns that affect their work, parenting and close relationships by reflecting on past and present interactions.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room and on listening without judgement. In practice this means sessions are shaped around what the individual wants to address, whether that is stress at work, relationship strain or low self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Helen will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That might mean blending attachment ideas with mindfulness exercises and client-centred listening as the work evolves.

The practical benefits of online therapy include greater ease fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to schedule sessions around work or parenting commitments and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
