About Helen
AASW social worker with three years' experience, Helen Uba works in Australia supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and grief. She also helps with depression and related concerns. Helen uses evidence-based techniques and draws on her personal faith and cultural background as part of her practice.
Helen prefers short, direct conversations that focus on practical steps. She helps people build emotional regulation skills and manage impulses. When addiction or process addiction is present she works on patterns and coping strategies that suit daily life.
Her approach layers different evidence-based tools rather than one fixed method. That can mean working on thought patterns, learning new coping skills, or practising acceptance and values-based actions. She pays attention to attachment issues, body image and relationship communication as they come up in sessions.
She has experience in responding to trauma, including sexual assault and abuse, and supports people through post-traumatic stress reactions. Helen also works with grief, guilt, shame and problems such as paranoia or mood disorder symptoms when they affect everyday functioning.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Helen discusses what is useful, shows simple techniques in session, and reviews progress over time. People are invited to bring whatever feels most pressing so work can focus on immediate concerns and longer-term goals.

How her approaches translate to online work
Helen commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviours. CBT sessions often focus on practical exercises and homework that fit into daily routines and can be reviewed in subsequent meetings.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is useful for those wanting to reduce struggle with internal experiences while moving toward meaningful goals.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss different techniques and try methods that match a person's goals, preferences and current needs. That may involve mixing approaches over time and checking in about what works best.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Talk with her about what session length and frequency will suit everyday life and practical constraints.
