About Helen
Helen Fox is a person-centred counsellor who works with adults to help them manage life’s pressures. She holds BACP registration, and uses a warm, practical style to help people talk through difficult feelings. Helen aims to make talking about stress, parenting challenges or relationship concerns straightforward and down to earth.
She draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness, to help people find useful ways to cope.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that make daily life easier. Helen also brings attachment-based thinking to conversations about relationships and intimacy. Helen has four years of practice experience working in the South East of England.
She has supported people with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, addictions, ADHD and a wide range of family and life-change issues. Her work also covers career concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and compassion fatigue. Appointments are offered throughout the week, and she aims to reply to messages within one working day.
Helen accepts international clients and runs sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and then arranging a suitable time to begin sessions. Her approach is collaborative and flexible.
She helps people develop practical tools, notice patterns that cause pain and decide on actions that fit their lives. Helen focuses on small, achievable change rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Helen combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy with a person-centred attitude. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on values-led actions that matter in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, which can help when intimacy or trust feels difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful at the start. Together they will try methods and adjust the focus so sessions match practical needs and personal style.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video lets people keep a face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can fit around busy days or provide ongoing reflection between calls. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare and travel, and to keep continuity when life is changing.
