About Helen
Helen Marshall is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people who are coping with addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. Helen uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies to help clients notice patterns that get in the way and try different responses.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-informed and client-centred work. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behaviour. Sessions often focus on concrete steps and short-term goals alongside exploring past experiences that affect current relationships.
Helen also draws on psychodynamic ideas and hypnotherapy when these fit a person’s needs. That can mean looking at long-standing patterns from earlier relationships, or using guided relaxation to support emotional regulation. She explains methods clearly and discusses options before trying new techniques.
In practice she aims for direct, respectful dialogue. She listens to the problem someone brings and suggests specific exercises or conversational techniques to try between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can be adjusted if something isn’t helping.
People who choose Helen can expect a practical style that mixes thought-focused work with attention to attachment and past experience. She offers work for issues such as addiction, grief, trauma, social anxiety, and women’s concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the registration noted by NCPS.
How Helen combines approaches in online work
Helen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. CBT sessions often involve clear exercises, behaviour experiments and tracking small changes to see what helps with anxiety, low mood, or problematic habits.She also applies Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach focuses on recognising repeating relationship behaviours and trying different ways of relating that reduce conflict or withdrawal.
Client-Centred Therapy is used alongside these methods to keep sessions grounded in the person’s experience. That means the counsellor follows what matters most to the client and adjusts the pace and focus according to their needs.
Finding the best approach is treated as a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss options, try methods that fit the client’s goals, and review what is working. Decisions about technique are made together so the work stays relevant and practical.
