About Helene
Helene Levin is an ACA counsellor who uses emotionally-focused work to help people understand their feelings and improve close connections. She offers straightforward, compassionate support for stress, anxiety and low mood. Helene makes space for honest conversation and helps people take small, practical steps forward.
Helene draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred thinking. She listens for what matters most to each person, then helps them build skills to respond differently to painful thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s comfort. Common areas Helene addresses include grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep problems, anger and career stress.
Helene pays attention to attachment patterns and the effects of abandonment or codependency when these show up. Helene has worked in counselling for 11 years across a range of presenting problems. Her approach balances practical tools from cognitive behavioural work with acceptance-based exercises and emotional processing.
This helps people move from stuck patterns toward clearer choices. If someone prefers a calm, collaborative style, Helene can help them explore what matters, try new ways of relating to feelings, and plan manageable next steps. She encourages curiosity about difficult emotions and honours the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Online support
How Emotionally-Focused and Acceptance-based Work Can Help Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name core emotions, so relationships and personal choices feel clearer. It is useful when strong feelings or attachment patterns keep repeating and people want a different way of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for living a valued life even with difficult thoughts or feelings; it helps with anxiety, depression and coping with change. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and topic of the work.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Helene works collaboratively to find what fits each person’s needs and goals. Together they review how approaches feel in practice and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a work break, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact and try therapeutic tools between sessions with a counsellor who uses emotionally-focused and acceptance-based methods.
