About Helen

Helen Fox is a BACP counsellor who uses a person-centred style to help people make sense of tough moments. She offers calm, practical support for stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. Helen also helps with grief, trauma-related concerns, self-esteem and career or school transitions.

She works with adults on a broad range of issues, including addiction, ADHD, intimacy-related problems and family matters. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image struggles and the stresses of ageing. Her practice includes matters linked to sexuality and identity, such as LGBT concerns and non-traditional sexual cultures.

Helen draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness alongside attachment-based and existential ways of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the person, building practical coping tools and noticing patterns that get in the way. Her approach is conversational and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

She has four years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. Helen works from the South East of England and connects with people across the UK and internationally online.

Typical contact hours are Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 6.45pm, and she aims to respond to messages within one working day. Messages received at weekends are replied to on the next working day, and she is usually not available on UK public holidays.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and making decisions about next steps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and grounding practices to reduce rumination and improve sleep and daily calm. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, and it can help with intimacy, trust and family-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts and practical needs. Together they will choose or combine methods that feel helpful and realistic for the person’s life and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and do longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth is needed or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, journalling between sessions or when writing feels more comfortable than talking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
