Helen Lamming

Helen Lamming works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, intimacy problems, parenting challenges and anger. She also supports those dealing with attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, dissociation, and difficulties linked to commitment or communication. Helen's first aim is to help clients feel heard and understood so they can begin to make practical changes.

She uses a mix of approaches that keep the person at the centre of the work. Helen draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotional responses shape relationships. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to map patterns that repeat across close relationships. Internal Family Systems and Trauma-Focused methods help when past experiences keep affecting present life.

Helen trained in psychology and education and holds NCPS accreditation. She also has CPCAB qualifications and a Relate diploma in family counselling. Over eleven years she has built more than 4,000 hours of counselling experience, including weekday work at Relate focusing on relationship and family concerns.

Her manner is warm, respectful and non-judgemental. Helen offers both short-term work for a set number of sessions and open-ended therapy when people prefer a longer process. She works with individuals and couples and pays attention to cultural, gender and neurodiversity differences in how problems show up.

Sessions are offered online from the United Kingdom. Before booking, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the ways early bonds shape current relationships. In an online session this can mean mapping patterns together and noticing how feelings show up in close contact. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional responses that drive relationship behaviour, helping partners or individuals name feelings and try new ways of relating. Trauma-Focused Therapy supports people to work through past events that still affect daily life, using paced work to reduce reactivity and build coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life circumstances and then agree a plan with the client. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses to better meet what the person needs.

Helen offers online counselling from the United Kingdom. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people access therapy when local options are limited, while still enabling focused, face-to-face conversation by video or voice depending on what the therapist offers.
