About Helen
Helen Greenaway is a psychotherapist and coach who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. She draws on a mix of talking approaches to help clients break unhelpful patterns and find clearer ways forward. Helen uses straightforward language and practical steps in sessions. She is a BACP counsellor practising from the United Kingdom.
Helen often works with people who seem high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. Common concerns include constant worry, imposter feelings at work, trouble setting boundaries, and night-time overthinking that affects sleep. She also supports people whose ADHD brings heightened rejection sensitivity and emotional overwhelm.
Sessions aim to offer a calm place to talk things through and reflect on what is getting in the way. Helen combines client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches to help people spot thinking habits and try new ways of responding. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns and solution-focused moves to set small, achievable goals.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Helen encourages small experiments between sessions to test what helps in daily life. She explains ideas plainly and works at a pace that suits each person.

How Helen's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and clarify what matters to them, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, improving sleep and changing unhelpful thinking patterns through small tasks and experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. Helen will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also let people use methods like CBT homework or focused problem-solving between meetings to speed up practical change.
