Miss Helen Fox, BACP

Miss Helen Fox is a counsellor with ten years' experience who focuses on helping people overcome the effects of trauma and related challenges. She works with people who have faced sexual abuse, domestic violence, depression, anxiety and relationship strain. Helen aims to create a warm, curious space where people can be heard and begin to make different choices.

Her practice concentrates on understanding patterns that keep people stuck. She helps clients spot how old coping strategies and past hurts show up now. That can include codependency, narcissistic abuse, self-sabotage and repeated relationship problems such as jealousy or control issues.

Helen uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches to identify underlying causes and build practical steps forward. Sessions often involve calm questioning, reflective listening and collaborative planning so people can test new behaviours between meetings. She describes her manner as kind, gently humorous and consistently non-judgemental.

She has spent time supporting people with addiction, learning disabilities and those working in healthcare, bringing experience across different life situations. Helen is also familiar with attachment-related concerns, dissociation and personality-related difficulties that complicate recovery.

Clients can expect help with practical roadblocks like low self-esteem, anger, grief and major life changes. Helen encourages a paced approach so people can try new ways of relating to themselves and others. To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they want to change and to approach the work with curiosity rather than blame.

Approaches that help untangle old patterns

Helen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding how past experiences affect present behaviour. One approach helps people identify unhelpful relationship patterns and attachment habits so they can try new ways of relating and reduce repeated conflicts. Another approach addresses trauma responses by teaching people how to notice triggers, manage overwhelming feelings and take small, steady steps towards feeling more in control.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to choose which techniques feel most useful for their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This means practical trial and review rather than a fixed method imposed from the start.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions accessible when juggling work, caregiving or other commitments, helping therapy become part of everyday routines rather than an added burden.
