About Helen
Helen Greenaway is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people manage anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. She works with practical issues like sleep problems, parenting strain and work-related self-doubt. Helen aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk things through and find clearer ways forward.
She draws on several therapeutic methods to match what someone needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps with changing unhelpful thinking and easing anxiety.
Background and approach
Solution-focused techniques are used for short-term goals and practical steps. Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover patterns that repeat over time. Helen has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration.
She uses that background to blend talking, coaching and structured exercises when appropriate. Sessions often include straightforward strategies for managing overwhelm and improving sleep. People typically come for worries such as overthinking, impostor feelings at work, difficulty setting boundaries, anger or feelings of emptiness.
Helen also supports clients dealing with ADHD-related rejection sensitivity, relationship and intimacy concerns, and career questions. Therapy is offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The process starts with a short questionnaire to match needs, then scheduling that fits the person’s availability.
Helen aims to make appointments easy to arrange and practical to fit into a busy life.

Online support
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and patterns of overthinking by offering concrete tools and exercises.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Helen talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then tries a way of working that feels suitable. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts methods if different tools would help more.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation over distance, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit appointments around work, parenting or other commitments.
