About Helen
Helen Newman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and issues around intimacy and addiction. Helen works with adults to make practical changes and to build understanding of their feelings.
She brings five years of clinical experience to one-to-one work and has delivered over 1,000 hours of therapeutic counselling.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the person needs right now, whether that means tackling present-day problems or understanding past patterns that still cause pain. Her style is person-centred. That means the client leads the pace and Helen follows, listening carefully and reflecting back what she hears.
She adapts methods from different approaches so therapy is flexible and tailored to each person’s goals. Helen uses a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, client-centred work and hypnotherapy as part of an integrative practice. She aims to help people build coping skills, reduce distress and gain clearer self-awareness through practical techniques and reflective conversation.
People who come to Helen can expect a calm, non-judgemental space and a steady, collaborative approach. She encourages small steps and supports people as they try new ways of thinking and behaving. Getting help can feel daunting, and Helen aims to make the first steps straightforward.

Online support
How Helen’s approaches work online
Helen uses hypnotherapy, client-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in an integrative way that can be adapted for online work. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help with habits, anxiety and behaviour change. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client sets the pace and what to discuss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to reduce distress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Helen will discuss your needs and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can change as goals evolve or new needs emerge.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments.
