Her work covers a broad range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, sleep and eating issues, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar mood patterns.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Helen often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) online to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small actions that matter. ACT can be useful for anger, anxiety, and motivation by shifting attention away from struggle and toward meaningful steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and challenge thinking patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. CBT exercises work well in short practical assignments between sessions, such as tracking triggers or testing new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas are brought in to explore how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and communication with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Helen works collaboratively to test methods and adjust based on what helps a client meet their goals and preferences. Clients decide together on pacing, focus, and homework so the work fits real life.
