About Helen
Helen Marshall is an NCPS credentialed counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults on addictions, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. Helen also supports people with issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment, caregiving stress, and life purpose.
Helen uses straightforward conversation to help clients make sense of what feels stuck. She adapts the way she talks and plans work to fit each person's circumstances. Sessions aim to look at patterns that cause distress and to try different ways of responding.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationships and early patterns. She also uses client-centred methods that focus on the person's perspective, and cognitive behavioural techniques to examine thoughts and behaviours. Hypnotherapy and psychodynamic thinking are additional ways she may work when relevant.
People often come for help after a big life change, loss, or when addiction is causing problems. Helen also sees those dealing with shame, isolation, social anxiety and issues linked to domestic violence or narcissistic relationships. Conversations cover practical coping strategies alongside deeper exploration of past experiences.
Sessions are conversational and grounded. Helen asks about what matters most to each person and suggests steps they can try between meetings. Prospective clients are encouraged to check the session options and how they are arranged before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Helen draws on attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural ideas. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current feelings and reactions. Client-centred practice focuses on the person's viewpoint and helps conversations stay focused on what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thinking and behaviour cycles and offer practical steps to test different responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. Decisions about which approach to use are made collaboratively and can change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue regular meetings while managing other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, and client-centred reflections to an online setting.
