About Helen
Helen Lamming is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with relationship and family problems, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress and anger. Sessions are held in English and Helen accepts international clients.
Helen focuses on practical conversations about what is happening in relationships and families. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at connection and trust, and on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and respond to feelings. She also uses Client-Centred principles and Internal Family Systems ideas when helpful.
Her background includes many years working for Relate, where she specialised in relationship and family counselling. That role and subsequent practice have given her more than 4,000 hours of direct counselling experience. She holds an MEd in Psychology of Education and a BA (Hons) in Psychology, plus a range of CPCAB qualifications linked to counselling and relationship work.
Helen offers both short-term agreements for a set number of sessions and open-ended work. She receives ongoing clinical supervision and is a Registered Member of CPCAB, following their code of ethics. Practical scheduling tends to favour afternoons, Fridays and weekends to fit around busy lives.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps - improving communication, understanding attachment patterns, reducing reactive anger and rebuilding connection where that is a priority. People who come to her can expect direct, conversational work aimed at changing everyday responses and interactions.
How sessions work
How Helen applies relationship and trauma approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and trust between people. It helps when relationships feel distant, reactive or when people keep repeating the same fights. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and expressing core emotions in the moment. It is useful for couples and individuals who want to shift reactive cycles and improve closeness. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss different methods with clients and decide together what fits best. That choice is based on your goals, the issues you bring and what feels most helpful in sessions. The biography states she now offers online counselling, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also make it simpler to involve different family members across locations when appropriate. Registered or accredited professionals like Helen aim to adapt techniques so that attachment and emotion-focused work translate well to online sessions, keeping the focus practical and action-oriented.Areas of focus
