Helen Newman, BACP, NCPS

Helen Newman is a qualified and accredited integrative counsellor (BACP, NCPS) with five years of experience offering one-to-one sessions for adult clients. She creates a non-judgmental, attentive space where people can speak openly and be truly heard as they work through their concerns, from everyday stress to deeper emotional challenges.

Having delivered over 1,000 hours of therapeutic counselling, Helen has supported clients with a wide range of issues including anxiety, stress, bereavement, trauma and confidence building. Her practical experience informs a steady, empathetic approach that helps clients make sense of their situations and develop greater self-understanding.

Helen practises in a person-centred way that draws on humanistic, psychodynamic and behaviourist ideas, allowing her work to adapt to each person’s needs. Sessions are client-led and flexible, with the focus moving between past, present and future as required to support meaningful reflection and change.

All therapeutic work is tailored to the individual, using methods selected to support the client’s personal journey. Helen aims to empower people to take the courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady support throughout that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem and emphasizes empathy, acceptance and active listening. It helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness and gain confidence in making choices that suit their values and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and supports practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related difficulties.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence present relationships and emotions, offering space to uncover deeper themes that can affect daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Helen works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional and to fit therapy into everyday life without lengthy travel.
