How Helen’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach often look at connection patterns, helping people recognise triggers and try different ways of asking for care or setting boundaries.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on the emotional experience in relationships. It helps partners and individuals name their feelings, see how emotions drive behaviour, and practise new responses that create more closeness and safety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods might help most. That choice is collaborative and may change as therapy moves forward.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to sustain regular contact while living apart or travelling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or face-to-face style conversations without the need to travel. The biography notes she offers online counselling, but please confirm the available session options and scheduling details before booking.
