About Helen
Helen Greenaway is a psychotherapist with a BACP accreditation who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, build self‑esteem and cope with life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for talking through worries, overthinking and patterns that hold people back. Helen writes plainly and meets people where they are, whether they feel overwhelmed or just unsure of what to do next.
Her approach blends client-centred listening with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work.
Background and approach
That means sessions often look at current problems, identify unhelpful thinking, and try small experiments to change how things feel. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people notice recurring patterns that come from earlier relationships and experiences. Helen has four years of clinical experience working with issues such as stress, depression, sleep difficulties, anger and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, career questions, parenting strain and challenges linked to ADHD such as rejection sensitivity. Her additional focus areas include attachment, body image, guilt and shame, isolation and life purpose. Practical matters are straightforward.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Helen offers sessions in English and works with people based in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

How Helen works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions around work and family life and fewer travel demands. When picking how to connect, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check‑ins, to choose a quieter time of day, or to use methods that suit your routine without needing to travel.
