How Helen works online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on emotions in relationships and aims to make feelings clearer and more manageable. It is often used for couples and for individuals who want to understand hurtful cycles and reconnect with others.
Internal Family Systems sees the mind as made up of parts with different roles, and the work helps people listen to those parts with curiosity. This approach can be useful for trauma responses, dissociation and complex internal conflicts.
Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose an approach that fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. The choice can change over time as new issues arise or priorities shift.
Helen offers online counselling from her Central London practice. Please confirm the exact session options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations when international arrangements are necessary.
