About Helen
Helen Lamming NCPS is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years' experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger and related difficulties such as attachment, communication and codependency. Helen offers online sessions and accepts international clients.
She adopts a practical, person-focused approach that puts a client's own experience first. Sessions tend to look at patterns in relationships, how early family dynamics affect current choices, and ways to manage strong emotions. Helen draws on methods that help people describe what matters, notice repeated behaviours, and try out different responses.
Her background includes lengthy roles at a relationship counselling service where she worked with a wide range of relationship and family difficulties. She holds professional accreditation with NCPS, a CPCAB Certificate of Proficiency and Relate diplomas in relationship and family counselling. She also has postgraduate study in the psychology of education and a teaching qualification.
Helen has logged over 4,000 counselling hours and receives regular clinical supervision. She offers both short-term agreements for a set number of sessions and open-ended work. People often bring problems such as difficulties with commitment, managing anger around family issues, separating after a relationship, or feeling overwhelmed by others' needs.

How sessions work
Therapy approaches and how online sessions work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they respond when they feel threatened in relationships and develop more reliable ways of asking for what they need. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with the feelings that sit under repeated relationship patterns. It helps people identify, express and reorganise emotional responses so interactions change in practical ways. Client-Centred Therapy gives space for the client to set the pace and priorities, with the counsellor reflecting back what matters most to the person.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That means sessions are collaborative and can shift focus as needs change.
The biography describes online counselling as Helen's mode of practice but does not specify exact formats. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more flexible meeting times when needed. Some approaches suit talking and focusing on feelings, while others include structured tasks between sessions; Helen will explain how a chosen method will shape your online meetings.
