About Helen

Helen Howett is an NCPS counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults and couples on stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, relationships, grief and life changes. Helen also offers coaching-style support alongside therapeutic work.

Helen uses a mix of attachment-based, client-centred, mindfulness and psychodynamic approaches. In sessions she focuses on listening, noticing patterns and helping people find practical ways to manage day-to-day difficulties. Conversations may look at past relationships, current roles and how those affect wellbeing now.

Her background includes medical science and childhood and youth studies, and she describes herself as an accredited creative therapist. That combination shapes a practical, reflective style that draws on creativity as well as talking methods. Helen mentions daytime appointment availability in her original notes.

People often raise issues such as self-esteem, parenting strain, coping with change, family conflict, trauma and abuse, or career concerns. She also works with more specific problems like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and divorce and separation. Eating and food-related issues, fertility and fatherhood concerns are also listed among her focus areas.

Sessions aim to identify concrete steps alongside exploring emotional patterns. Helen encourages clients to notice how relationships and old experiences affect current choices. The work can include mindfulness practices, exploring attachment patterns, and reflecting on personal history to make different decisions.

How Helen uses approaches for online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps when patterns from the past repeat in present relationships or cause repeated stress. Client-centred methods focus on the client's own goals and experience, using listening and reflection to help people make changes they want. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anxiety and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify what methods fit a client's goals and preferences, and adapt the work as sessions progress. This means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting exercises or focus areas accordingly.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a meeting into a lunch break, or choosing a shorter check-in when time is limited. It also allows a consistent process of talking, practising mindfulness exercises and reflecting on attachment patterns without needing to be in a particular place.
