About Helen

Helen Fox is a BACP counsellor who offers person-centred support for adults and young people. She works steadily with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship problems. Helen aims to help people build practical tools and make sense of difficult life changes.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help clients notice what matters and take small steps towards it. Attachment-based ideas guide her work on relationships and intimacy. Helen uses a client-centred stance to listen and reflect rather than direct or rush outcomes.

Her experience includes supporting people through trauma and grief, and working with behavioural and communication difficulties. She also addresses concerns around self-esteem, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Helen has worked with those facing career decisions, parenting strain, and chronic health challenges.

Helen practises from Southend-on-Sea and has four years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which appears as BACP. Sessions are scheduled during weekday hours and she aims to reply to messages within one working day.

When someone gets in touch they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Helen describes her role as supportive and collaborative, helping people find strategies that fit their everyday life.

How Helen’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify core values and take small, practical steps towards them. It often uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and choose actions that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people change how they relate and feel safer in close connections. Client-Centred Therapy gives the person the lead in sessions, with the therapist offering active listening and reflection rather than direction.

Finding the most helpful approach is a shared process. Helen will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Together you can adapt techniques so they fit day-to-day life and the issues you bring to therapy.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapeutic tools such as mindfulness exercises and values work be practised in everyday settings, which can help translate learning into real-life changes.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
