About Helen
Helen Greenaway is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by worry, low self-esteem, sleep problems, or changes in life circumstances. Her listed areas include anxiety, ADHD-related difficulties, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, and career pressure.
Helen describes many clients as high-functioning yet quietly struggling with self-doubt, imposter feelings, or fear of making mistakes. She helps people talk through persistent overthinking, manage emotional overwhelm, and address rejection sensitivity linked to ADHD. She also supports people dealing with anger, compassion fatigue, or issues around commitment and trust.
Her practice draws on client-centred ways of working that place the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioural tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at earlier life patterns that affect current relationships and choices.
In sessions Helen can discuss practical steps for improving sleep, setting boundaries, and managing work-related self-doubt. She also addresses family problems and parenting pressures by helping people reflect on relationship patterns and communication problems.
Helen offers straightforward, conversational support combined with coaching where useful. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Helen uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully to a person’s experience and following what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs a space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters next.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It gives practical steps to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviours for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns that come from earlier relationships. That can help when current relationship or intimacy issues feel stuck or confusing.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss options and use the approaches that fit a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
The biography notes video call, phone and messenger as ways she can connect, but readers should confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at home or a break at work. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online work lets people keep continuity of care while balancing everyday commitments.
