Helen Greenaway, BACP

Helen Greenaway is a counsellor who blends client-centred listening with practical strategies. She uses plain conversation to help people who feel stuck, anxious or low in confidence. Helen is BACP registered and draws on four years of experience to keep sessions down-to-earth and focused on what matters now.

Helen often supports people who are high-functioning but quietly overwhelmed. Typical concerns include constant worry, imposter feelings at work, trouble setting boundaries, and night-time overthinking that affects sleep. She also works with people managing ADHD-related rejection sensitivity and the emotional fallout that can follow.

Sessions aim to feel collaborative. Helen helps people unpack recurring patterns, try small experiments, and notice what changes work in everyday life. She combines open listening with tools from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ways of working to build clearer thinking and practical steps forward.

Her approach also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. That can help when worries tie into old attachment or control issues. Conversations explore both what is happening now and the stories that shape reactions.

Helen describes coaching-style conversations for goal-focused work alongside longer therapeutic reflection. She encourages people to set realistic steps, test new behaviours, and gradually build confidence and better sleep habits.

How Helen's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor offers empathic listening and follows the person's lead to build confidence and self-awareness, which can help with low self-esteem and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a practical way. It helps people break cycles of overthinking, improve sleep routines and test small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety.

Choosing an approach is usually a joint decision. The therapist will talk about different ways of working and try ideas together with the client. That means sessions can be tailored over time to match changing goals and what feels most helpful.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work useful for fitting therapy around busy days, keeping appointments during work breaks, or having a shorter check-in when needed. Online conversations can make it easier to experiment with cognitive tools, practise new communication habits and track progress between sessions.
