Helen Greenaway, BACP

Helen Greenaway is a counsellor who blends talking therapy with practical coaching. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by worry, low self‑esteem or sleepless nights. Helen aims to create a space where someone can talk things through and start to make small changes that feel manageable.

She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions. That background includes helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger and the pressures of work. Helen also supports those coping with ADHD-related rejection sensitivity, relationship and intimacy concerns, and jealousy.

In conversation she uses straightforward methods to help clients notice unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, where thoughts and actions are looked at together, is often part of the work. Client-Centred ideas guide sessions too, with a focus on what each person needs in the moment.

Helen also draws on psychodynamic thinking to help people understand recurring feelings and Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals. Together these approaches aim to reduce overthinking, improve sleep and build confidence in everyday life.

Practical steps are a common theme. Helen will help identify one or two changes to try between meetings. She encourages people to check progress and adapt the plan as they go. The aim is steady, realistic movement rather than quick fixes.

How Helen uses different therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means sessions are guided by what the client needs, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test out small changes to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.

Deciding which approach to try is a shared process. Helen will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That might mean starting with practical CBT tools, exploring patterns with psychodynamic ideas, or using Solution-Focused steps to set short-term targets. The approach can change as progress is made.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel and keep check-ins brief when needed. It can also let people work from a quieter place at home or fit a session into a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals offer a range of session styles, and Helen will discuss which option best suits each person when you begin.
