Helen Warman, BACP

Helen Warman is a counsellor who uses a warm, respectful style to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of professional experience to her work. Helen aims to tailor conversations to each person's needs and to support them through change.

She offers straightforward, talk-based support that focuses on what matters to the client. Sessions look at current problems and how they affect day-to-day life. Helen helps people build coping skills, manage mood, and address obstacles to motivation and confidence.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when it helps to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behaviour changes. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to consider how past experiences influence present patterns.

Helen has worked with people dealing with addiction issues, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, anger, career concerns and ADHD, among other worries. She also supports those facing ageing and caregiver stress, body image concerns, relationship breakups, feelings of emptiness, and obsessive-compulsive behaviour.

In sessions she aims to be sensitive and respectful, and to adapt the pace to each person. She encourages small, manageable steps and focuses on practical changes as well as understanding patterns. The emphasis is on collaboration and finding what helps an individual move forward.

How Helen's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead and aims to create a supportive space for people to speak about what matters to them. This approach can help with low self-esteem, grief and general life stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical strategies such as activity planning and thought records to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and to build coping skills.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that come from past experience and how they show up now. It can help people make sense of recurring relationship or emotional difficulties and gain longer-term insight.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Helen will discuss options and adapt the methods to match the client's goals, preferences and life situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing appointments around work. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find remote sessions helpful for regular check-ins, short focused work or building skills between meetings.
