Helen Rose, BACP

Helen Rose helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and worries about relationships. She works with concerns such as self-esteem, panic, phobias, obsessive thoughts, postpartum depression and self-harm. Helen is a BACP counsellor with nine years of experience and she offers support in English to people in the United Kingdom and beyond.

Her style is straightforward and person-centred. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and listens first to understand what matters most. Sessions are practical and focused, with simple strategies to manage panic, intrusive thoughts and overwhelming feelings.

Helen draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. She also uses dialectical behaviour therapy skills to help regulate strong emotions and build coping routines.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred ideas guide how she works on relationships and grief. That means helping people name their feelings, improve emotional connection, and practise new ways of responding in difficult moments.

People who come to Helen can expect a collaborative approach. Together they set clear goals and try things out between sessions. Practical tools, short-term coping plans and space to reflect are shared in plain language.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used so the right fit can be made. Sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.

How Helen’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist creates a supportive space and follows the person's priorities, helping them make sense of feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and try practical experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood and obsessive thoughts and includes simple tools you can practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Helen will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals and what feels helpful. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls suit in-depth discussion and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and let people try different formats to see what works best.
