Helen Newman, BACP, NCPS

Helen Newman helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with addictions, eating or sleeping difficulties, anger, career strain and major life changes. Helen works with issues linked to intimacy, LGBT concerns, parenting pressures, bipolar and depression. She also addresses attachment, abandonment, body image, codependency and communication difficulties.

Helen offers a calm, non-judgemental space for one-to-one counselling. She is named on registers as BACP and NCPS and has five years of practice. Sessions are client-led and aim to let people feel heard while they talk through what matters to them.

Her approach mixes person-centred work with ideas from psychodynamic thinking and behavioural methods. That means she will follow what you bring to sessions and shift focus between the past, present and future as needed. Practical techniques and talking work are used alongside reflective exploration.

Helen reports over 1,000 hours of therapeutic counselling experience with adult clients. She adapts methods to each person, aiming for clearer self-understanding and manageable steps forward. The emphasis is on helping people make sense of their situation and regain a sense of control.

People who begin work with Helen can expect a supportive and empowering process. The therapist encourages small changes that build into longer-term gains and helps clients plan realistic next steps during and between sessions.

How Helen’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. It helps when someone needs to feel understood and to make sense of their feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That decision is reviewed as you go, so the plan can change if something is not helping.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by shortening travel time or enabling quicker check-ins around work schedules. This profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions that focus on the same therapeutic aims as face-to-face work and help clients make steady progress from wherever they are.
