About Helen
Helen Marshall, NCPS, helps people dealing with addictions, LGBTQ issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She writes plainly and listens with respect. Helen aims to make the first steps feel manageable and supportive for anyone ready to seek change.
Helen works in a way that adapts to each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical conversation and clear goals. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts. Hypnotherapy and psychodynamic thinking may also be used where they suit the client.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She tailors discussion and any plan to each person rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach. People can expect honest feedback, questions that encourage reflection, and space to talk about difficult emotions.
With three years of professional experience and NCPS credentialing, Helen works from a UK practice background. She supports people navigating identity questions, addiction recovery, and recovery from traumatic events. She also helps with attachment concerns and the stresses that come with caregiving.
Sessions aim to blend short-term problem solving with deeper work on patterns that repeat across relationships. Helen encourages clients to set practical tasks between meetings when that feels useful. The focus is on steady progress and finding ways to feel more in control day to day.
How Helen’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It can help with trust, closeness and repeating relationship patterns following trauma or loss. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the client space to lead the conversation while the counsellor listens without judgement; this is useful for building self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and addictive behaviours.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Helen will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client’s goals and preferences. She aims to adapt pacing and tasks so the plan feels manageable and relevant to everyday life.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue steady progress when attending in person is difficult, helping therapy fit into a busy routine rather than the other way around.
