About Helen
Helen Ridlington-White is a BACP counsellor with 28 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting and ADHD. Helen also lists work around adoption and foster care, attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, and women’s issues among her focus areas.
Her background includes a foundation in child development and many years as a counsellor for the NHS. She describes herself as an integrative psychotherapist who draws on several theoretical approaches to deepen self-understanding. She also supervises students and professionals in practice.
Sessions are set up so people can explore feelings and life events in ways that suit them. Helen says clients can use talking, creative arts or other expressive methods during work together. She offers options for audio, video and text-based contact as ways to connect, and can include artistic self-expression where helpful.
Her style aims for clear, practical conversations about what is troubling someone and what might help next. She often combines reflective listening with techniques that come from mindfulness, psychodynamic and other traditions to address emotional patterns and interpersonal difficulties.
People come for help with everyday pressures, relationship strain, grief and identity questions. Helen supports efforts to understand long-standing patterns, manage distressing emotions and make changes that fit someone’s life and responsibilities.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and supporting a person to find their own solutions. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, self-regulation and stress. Jungian Therapy brings attention to symbols, dreams and personal meaning, useful for people wanting to explore identity, life purpose or deeper patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss different methods and agree a plan with the client based on needs, goals and what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and can change as the sessions progress.
The biography lists video conversations, audio-only contact, text chat and email as ways she offers contact; confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or studies, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
