Helen Marshall, NCPS

Helen Marshall helps people who are struggling with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with LGBT matters and related life questions. Helen speaks English and works from the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and has three years of professional experience.

Her approach is practical and respectful. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting across from her. Helen adapts conversations and tools to fit each person's situation rather than following a fixed script. She aims to create a space where someone can talk honestly and begin to make changes.

Helen combines different ways of working depending on the issue. She uses attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns, cognitive behavioural tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and client-centred listening to make space for the person's experience. She also draws on psychodynamic thinking and hypnotherapy when these seem helpful.

People turn to her for a wide range of concerns, including adoption and foster care questions, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, communication problems, domestic violence, substance use, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, narcissism, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety, and women's issues. Helen will discuss what to focus on in early sessions and shape the work around the goals you bring.

Her style is calm and straightforward. She encourages small, practical steps alongside deeper reflection. If you are ready to explore change, Helen aims to support and empower you as you take those steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and feelings. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in trust, closeness and emotional responses so they can try different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and relies on careful listening and reflection. It is useful when someone needs to be heard and to find their own solutions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and self-esteem work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Helen will talk through options and help find what fits best with goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving, or travel while still allowing steady progress with a registered or accredited professional.
