About Heli

Heli Annika Giles is a BACP counsellor working from the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred, integrative style and draws on a mix of practical approaches to help people facing everyday pressures. She aims to make first steps feel calmer and more doable for those who are anxious about asking for help.

Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma or big life changes.

Background and approach

Heli offers help with work-related stress, career questions and the emotional toll of caregiving or chronic illness. Sessions begin with what matters most to the individual. Heli listens and reflects back what she hears.

Together they set small goals and review progress as they go. She uses straightforward conversation and simple exercises to build new ways of coping. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred and existential ways of working.

That mix means she can focus on thoughts, patterns in relationships or values and meaning depending on the situation. Heli speaks English and Finnish. She has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and small behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical experiments to try between sessions. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections affect current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heli will talk with you about goals and preferences and together you will choose the mix that fits best. She adapts methods as you progress so therapy stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging lets you check in between meetings or fit short sessions into a busy day. These options help people access regular support around work, caregiving or other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
