About Helen

Psychological counsellor (NCPS), 11 years' experience. Helen Lamming helps with relationship and family difficulties, intimacy and parenting challenges, and managing anger. She works with attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and a range of relationship patterns such as codependency, commitment concerns and communication problems.

Helen frames clients as the experts in their own lives. She uses practical, person-focused methods to look at how relationships and family systems influence feelings and behaviour. Sessions aim to make patterns clearer so people can try different ways of relating and responding.

Her background includes substantial work at Relate, specialising in relationship and family counselling. She has logged over 4,000 hours of counselling and holds a range of qualifications including NCPS and CPCAB credentials, plus a Master of Education in Psychology of Education.

In practice she draws on Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused ideas, Client-Centred approaches, Trauma-Focused methods and Internal Family Systems. These approaches guide how she helps people understand emotional responses and family patterns, and how to repair or change difficult interactions.

Helen offers both short-term agreements for a set number of sessions and open-ended work. Sessions are provided from the United Kingdom and are available to international clients. The service uses a subscription model for payment that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches shape online work

Helen uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and closeness. This approach helps when trust, intimacy or repeated relationship patterns cause distress.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) which focuses on the emotions that drive interactions. EFT helps people name core feelings and use that understanding to change how they relate in close relationships.

Internal Family Systems is another influence; it helps people notice the different parts of themselves and how those parts interact. This can be useful for issues such as dissociation, strong self-criticism, and conflict within relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss goals, history and preferences and then test methods together. That collaborative process helps select whether attachment work, EFT or parts-based approaches suit the issues presented.

Sessions are offered online. Please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to maintain a consistent rhythm of work and to follow up between appointments when useful.
