About Helene
Helene Levin is an ACA counsellor with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also assists with addiction concerns and intimacy-related issues.
Helene uses straightforward, practical methods to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. She focuses on thinking and behaviour that can be changed in small steps. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify one or two things to try between meetings.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used when values and committed action are central to someone’s goals. Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused approaches guide how she listens and responds in the room.
Helene has worked with concerns linked to attachment, abandonment and codependency, and supports people dealing with relationship communication and commitment issues. She also has experience supporting those affected by domestic violence, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress.
When grief, emptiness or low motivation are present, Helene helps people break tasks into manageable steps. With substance use or co-morbidity, she works on practical goals and safer choices. Her style is direct and focused on what can be tried next.
To begin, she asks people to describe what matters most to them now and what small first steps they can take. That information shapes initial goals and the practical tools they work on together.
How her approaches translate to online work
Helene commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce distress. ACT helps people clarify what matters and take committed actions that match those values.She also works from a client-centred stance, which means listening closely and adapting tasks to what a person finds useful. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - she and the client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time from appointments. Helene will discuss practical session arrangements and recommend pacing and homework that suit each person's day-to-day life.
