Helen Lamming, NCPS

Helen Lamming is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, intimacy worries, parenting challenges and anger. She supports those dealing with attachment difficulties, separation and divorce, and a range of sexual and relational concerns. Helen works with people who are also managing neurodiversity, dissociation, or the emotional impact of domestic violence and fertility struggles.

She offers a warm and respectful style. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Helen listens for patterns in relationships and helps people find new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Helen trained in psychology and education and holds professional accreditation with NCPS, alongside a CPCAB Certificate of Proficiency. She has more than 11 years of clinical practice and over 4,000 hours of counselling experience accumulated in a variety of settings.

Much of her background comes from working at Relate, where she specialised in relationship and family counselling. That experience shaped her focus on communication, boundaries, and repair in close relationships. She is used to short-term work as well as open-ended counselling depending on what a client needs.

Helen currently provides online counselling from the United Kingdom. She welcomes people of all genders, sexualities, ethnicities and neurotypes, and she receives regular clinical supervision as part of her practice. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to session times.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people find ways to feel more secure in relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with emotions in the room to improve connection between partners or to shift how someone responds to strong feelings. It is often used for relationship and intimacy concerns. Internal Family Systems (IFS) recognises different parts of the self and helps people understand and relate differently to those parts, which can be useful for trauma, dissociation and codependency.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted to suit the person's needs over time.

Helen provides online counselling from the United Kingdom. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy schedules and accessing therapy from different locations, which can make regular appointments easier to keep. Online sessions can also be shorter or arranged in afternoons and weekends to suit work or family commitments. Confirm the available session formats when you book to ensure they match your needs.
