Helene Levin , ACA

Helene Levin is an ACA counsellor who draws on client-centred and practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with people coping with grief, low self-esteem, depression and motivation problems. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people take small, useful steps forward.

Helene believes people know their own stories and brings that view into sessions. She supports exploration of values and choices, and helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. This often involves learning simple exercises to reduce anxiety and increase focus on what matters most.

She also addresses intimacy-related issues, addictions, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. Helene offers work on attachment, abandonment and communication problems to help people improve close relationships and emotional safety for themselves.

For those facing life changes, career stress or caregiver strain, she looks for practical ways to reduce pressure and restore balance. She can help with recovery from domestic violence, separation and trauma-related concerns by creating a steady space to process experiences at a manageable pace.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Helene has 11 years of experience and uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to suit each person's needs.

How therapy approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed steps toward them while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression and issues that sap motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns of behaviour that keep problems going, which suits worries, low mood and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and shifting emotional responses in close relationships to improve connection and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Helene works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. Sessions usually blend techniques rather than following a single model, and she checks in regularly to make sure the work feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and convenience through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing support or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
