Helene Levin, ACA

Helene Levin is an ACA counsellor with 11 years' experience who focuses on practical, people-centred work. She meets clients where they are and helps them confront stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She encourages small steps and uses straightforward conversations to build on the strengths people already have.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred and emotionally-focused ways of working. That means sessions often include noticing thoughts and feelings, practising skills to respond differently, and talking through relationship patterns that cause pain. The therapist helps people weigh options and make clearer choices about next steps.

Helene has worked with grief, addiction, self‑esteem and sleep problems as well as longer‑term issues like bipolar and complex co-morbidity. She also helps people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment fears, codependency and the fallout from separation or domestic violence. Her background supports work on career strain, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

In sessions she aims for a calm, respectful tone and practical goals the client can try between meetings. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client's needs. If you want help sorting out a midlife change, or just need steadier coping day to day, she offers a clear, down-to-earth way through the difficulties.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing out new responses to reduce anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on the emotional patterns that repeat in close relationships and helps people express needs and repair connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and everyday routines to decide what combination of methods fits best. That decision is made together and can change as progress is reviewed over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, make it simpler to attend from different locations, or allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. Helene aims to tailor pacing and homework to suit each person's life and to help clients apply what they practise in real situations.
