About Helen
Helen Howett offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, stress or relationship strain. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and grief. Helen uses a practical, conversational style to help people clarify their priorities and take manageable next steps.
Helen has five years' experience and holds an NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS. She draws on ideas from attachment work, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences affect present feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding patterns and finding small changes that make daily life easier. Her approach is collaborative and person-centred. Helen listens first, then offers reflections and simple exercises grounded in everyday life.
That might include short mindfulness practices, exploring relationship patterns, or talking through coping strategies for stressful moments. Many people come for a few sessions to address a specific difficulty, while others choose ongoing support to work through deeper patterns. Helen also offers coaching-style conversations for career questions or practical decision-making.
She aims to keep sessions clear and focused so progress feels tangible. Sessions are available online for people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Helen accepts English-speaking clients and works through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Helen lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Helen will work together with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans are adapted as understanding deepens and priorities change.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow a full face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options help people maintain continuity of support around work, family or travel commitments.
