About

About Helen

Helen Fox is a BACP counsellor who offers straightforward, person-centred support for adults and young people. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and she works with clients on grief, trauma and self-esteem issues. Helen aims to listen without judgement and help people find practical steps forward.

Based in the Southend-on-Sea area of the United Kingdom, Helen has four years of practice experience. She commonly supports clients facing life transitions, career and school decisions, anger and stress management, and difficulties with communication.

Background and approach

Her work also covers addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Helen draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred counselling and mindfulness techniques. She uses these methods to help people notice what matters to them, understand patterns in relationships, and try small, workable changes.

Sessions tend to be practical and focused on the client’s goals. She mentions experience with trauma-informed ways of working and helps people cope with grief, caregiver strain and chronic illness. Helen also lists additional focus areas including body image, blended family matters, communication problems, and aspects of alternative sexual culture such as kink and BDSM.

Her practice hours are Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 6.45pm, and she aims to reply to messages within one working day. She is based in the South East of England and sees international clients where appropriate.

Online support

How Helen’s approaches translate to online therapy

Helen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take practical steps towards them, even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. She combines this with Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication.

She also uses client-centred counselling, which prioritises being listened to and understood without judgement. That approach helps when people need space to talk through distressing experiences and decide what changes matter to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss options with each person and together they will choose methods that suit the client’s goals and preferences. This collaborative decision helps shape session focus and pace.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation will help. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a familiar environment or who need flexibility around work and family commitments.
