About Helen
Helen Fox is a BACP counsellor who uses a person-centred, existential approach to help people find meaning and practical ways forward. She meets people where they are and focuses on what matters most to them. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making small, useful changes in daily life.
She has four years' experience working with adults and young people on a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem and relationship issues.
Background and approach
She also works with grief, career and school challenges, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and ADHD. In sessions Helen draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques alongside a client-centred stance. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses and practise skills between sessions.
The existential element supports work about values, purpose and coping with life change. Helen works with additional issues such as chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, body image, blended family and communication problems, and questions around intimacy and alternative sexual cultures. She also addresses concerns linked to ageing, neurodiversity and personality patterns when these come up in therapy.
Based in the United Kingdom, Helen offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. She accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches suited to online sessions
Helen often blends Existential Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to support clients online. Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, values and choice, helping people face life changes and find direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and choosing actions that match personal values to build a more meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, which can help with intimacy and trust issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Helen will work with each person to test what fits best, adjusting methods as goals and needs become clearer. She aims to combine practical tools with room to reflect on values and relationships so the plan feels personal and useful.
Online therapy lets people choose how to take part: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone for lower bandwidth, live chat for short check-ins, or text messaging for ongoing reflections between sessions. These options add flexibility for work, caregiving or travel, and make it easier to keep therapy consistent over time.
