Helen Fox, BACP

Helen Fox is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience working in the South East of England and online. She supports adults and young people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. She also works with issues around codependency and communication problems.

She uses person-centred ways of working alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and mindfulness. In practice this looks like focusing on what matters to the person, noticing patterns that keep them stuck, and trying small, practical steps to change day-to-day life.

Helen has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting stress, anger, career questions, sleeping and eating difficulties, and coping with life changes. She has experience with neurodiversity and with people navigating kink and alternative sex cultures. Her background includes supporting people affected by abandonment and attachment issues.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Helen aims to help people develop clearer boundaries, reduce people-pleasing, and find ways to manage strong emotions. She will listen for recurring patterns and offer techniques from mindfulness and ACT to try between sessions.

Practical matters such as scheduling and messages are handled during weekday hours. Helen usually replies to messages within one working day and responds to weekend messages on the next working day. She is typically not available on UK public holidays.
