About Helen
Helen Greenaway is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, low self-esteem and sleep problems. She uses a blend of talking and practical strategies to help clients break unhelpful cycles and feel steadier day-to-day. Helen holds BACP accreditation, and she draws on four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.
She often works with people who appear to be managing well on the outside but feel overwhelmed inside. Common issues she addresses include constant worry, imposter syndrome at work, trouble setting boundaries, night-time overthinking and aspects of ADHD that affect emotions. Helen offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through these concerns.
Her approach pairs empathy with clear tools. Helen uses client-centred listening to understand each person’s priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to spot thinking patterns and build new routines that support sleep and mood.
When useful, Helen explores deeper themes from psychodynamic work to track long-standing patterns. She may also use solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and notice small changes quickly. These methods are adapted to each person rather than applied rigidly.
Sessions begin with exploring what matters most to the client and setting practical goals together. For people worried about sleep, Helen helps identify habits and thinking that interfere with rest, and then co-creates manageable steps to improve it. She encourages gentle progress and regular review of what is working.
How Helen uses different approaches in online therapy
Helen uses client-centred therapy to listen closely and follow what matters most to the person. This style focuses on understanding the client’s experience and building a trusting therapeutic relationship to support change.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT helps people spot patterns that interfere with sleep, mood or daily functioning and then practise small, practical changes to break those patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the focus so the sessions remain relevant and practical.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone use phone-based sessions when lower bandwidth is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and tools to suit each person’s situation, helping therapy fit around everyday responsibilities.
