About Helene
Helene Levin is an ACA counsellor with 11 years of experience working in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people facing addictions, parenting strain and the pressures common in early adulthood, such as career choices and life changes.
Helene frames the person as the expert in their own life. She focuses on what a client already brings and uses that to tackle current challenges. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to problem-solving and emotional clarity.
Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. These methods are used to build skills for managing unhelpful thoughts, increasing valued action and improving emotional awareness and communication.
Helene has worked with a wide mix of concerns beyond the main areas above. These include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, domestic violence, addiction, and coping after separation or loss. She also supports people dealing with emptiness, forgiveness and co-morbidity related struggles.
Sessions aim to be straightforward. Helene helps people name what is difficult, try small behavioural changes and reflect on what matters next. She guides practical steps for everyday life, such as improving sleep, managing anger and navigating early-career stressors.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Helene encourages a short initial conversation to outline current priorities and possible next steps.
How Helene’s approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and moving toward actions that reflect personal values. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of starting a career or leaving a relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centred Therapy centres on a respectful, listening stance that helps people feel understood while they work through decisions and emotional concerns.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Helene will discuss what matters to the client, try methods and adjust as needed. This is a collaborative process that balances what the client wants with techniques that suit their goals and preferences.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work shifts or parenting by removing travel time and offering quicker check-ins. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter conversation is needed, while video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for emotional work and communication practice. Sessions are intended to fit into everyday life and help people make steady practical changes.
