About Helen
Helen Howett is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of practice. She is based in the United Kingdom and works with adults on common life pressures such as stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief, career stress and coping with life changes.
Helen trained initially in medical science and childhood and youth studies before moving into creative therapeutic practice. Her background mixes practical and academic experience. She often brings that range to sessions to help make sense of emotional patterns and everyday problems.
Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and psychodynamic thinking. That means conversations look at current feelings alongside past relationships to see how they affect today. Mindfulness is also used to help with emotional regulation and grounding when worry or overwhelm are present.
In sessions Helen offers a calm, conversational style that encourages reflection and practical steps. She works with adults and couples and can explore issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family problems, codependency, commitment and control issues, divorce and separation, eating and food-related issues, fertility and fatherhood concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, hoarding and forgiveness.
Helen accepts international clients and conducts work in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.
How Helen’s approaches are used online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current connection and trust. Online sessions can use this approach to map patterns that affect friendships and romantic relationships and to practise new ways of relating.Client-centred work focuses on listening and building understanding. In practice this means the therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps them find their own responses to stress, career choices or relationship questions.
Mindfulness offers simple grounding and breathing exercises to manage overwhelming feelings and anxiety. These techniques can be practised during sessions and repeated between meetings to help with daily pressure.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and the choice of methods can change as needs do. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical change as well as understanding.
