Helen Marshall

Helen Marshall is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with addictions, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. Helen also addresses life purpose questions alongside related issues such as attachment and caregiver stress.

Her style is conversational and person-centred. She listens to what matters to each individual and adapts the way she talks and plans work to fit those concerns. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might ease daily pressures.

Helen draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify patterns of thinking that make problems worse and to try different ways of responding. She also brings psychodynamic and hypnotherapy perspectives when helpful to look at deeper patterns and emotional blocks.

In practice she helps people make sense of past hurts, manage addiction-related difficulties, navigate grief, and build steadier self-esteem. She can help with issues linked to adoption or foster care, domestic violence, and social anxiety, among others. Sessions involve talking, noticing patterns, and trying small changes between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Helen uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early and close relationships influence current feelings and behaviour, which can help when relational patterns leave someone feeling stuck. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes to those patterns in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review how those methods are working as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy schedules, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and reduce travel time. It also means people can take a session during a lunch break or from a quieter spot when that suits their day. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and help match the format to the client’s needs and routines.
