About Helen
Helen Lamming NCPS is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience working with relationship and family concerns. She focuses on relationship issues, family conflict, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting and anger, and accepts international clients. She offers online counselling and has experience with both short-term and longer-term work.
Helen uses practical, conversational sessions. She listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people spot patterns that keep repeating. Sessions may look at how past relationships shape current ones, how communication breaks down, and what small changes might ease pressure at home.
Her background includes many years at Relate, where she specialised in relationship and family counselling. She has over 4,000 hours of counselling practice and has worked with a wide range of people and relationship situations. That experience informs a steady, plainspoken approach in session.
Her training includes an MEd in Psychology of Education, a BA (Hons) in Psychology, a PGCE, and counselling diplomas from Relate and CPCAB. She is accredited by NCPS and is a registered member of CPCAB. She also receives regular clinical supervision.
In therapy she draws on attachment-focused work, emotionally-focused ideas and trauma-informed ways of looking at problems. She can agree short-term packages or open-ended work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Helen uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. This approach helps when trust, closeness or repeated conflict are central concerns and can clarify why certain reactions feel automatic.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people identify and name core emotions during interactions. That work is useful for improving emotional communication, repairing ruptures and understanding intimacy problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions about focus and length of work are made collaboratively, and she offers both short-term agreements and open-ended arrangements.
