Helen Greenaway
Practical, person-focused support for everyday struggles
About Helen
Helen Greenaway works using a blend of client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. She is a BACP counsellor and offers straightforward, practical support for anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions. Helen writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters to each person.
Her main focus includes stress, sleep problems and managing overthinking. She also helps with career worries, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and the day-to-day challenges of parenting.
Background and approach
ADHD-related difficulties such as rejection sensitivity also feature in her work. Helen draws on client-centred therapy to build a trusting space where people can talk without pressure. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in thinking and behaviour.
When deeper patterns are present she may reflect on earlier life experiences using psychodynamic ideas to make sense of recurring problems. Sessions can be coaching-focused when someone wants clear short-term goals, or more exploratory when the aim is to understand longstanding feelings. Helen also uses solution-focused tools to set practical next steps and track progress over time.
She has four years of clinical experience and works with adults on a wide range of issues including depression, compassion fatigue, body image, attachment difficulties and concerns about purpose. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or messaging.

Sessions & fees
Approach-driven online counselling and practical tools
Helen often uses client-centred therapy to create a listening space where people can talk through what matters most and steer the pace of sessions. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and a non-judgemental place to reflect on immediate worries.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps that change feelings and behaviour. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and patterns of overthinking because it focuses on small, testable changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and collaborate on whether a more exploratory or a goal-oriented plan fits best. That choice can change as the work progresses, so the plan is reviewed together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you use visual cues, phone can be a short check-in without video, and messaging or chat can suit people who prefer writing or need quick ongoing contact. These options help sessions fit around work, family life and different energy levels while keeping the focus on making practical progress.
