About Miss

Counsellor Miss Helen Fox is a BACP member with ten years' experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship problems and difficulties with self-esteem.

Helen has focused much of her work on trauma, including the aftermath of sexual abuse and domestic violence. She also supports people who have been through narcissistic or codependent relationships and those coping with addictive behaviours. She has worked in health care settings supporting people with learning disabilities.

In sessions she helps people look at patterns that repeat in their lives. She and the client examine where those patterns may have come from and how they affect day-to-day choices. The emphasis is on practical steps to change unhelpful cycles and reduce the sense of being stuck.

She uses questioning, reflection and conversational techniques to help people make sense of their experiences. Helen says she brings humour and kindness into her work alongside direct discussion about difficult topics. Her style aims to clarify what is happening now and what could be different going forward.

Clients who come to her often want help with anger, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, or coping with life change. Helen also works with people dealing with personality-related difficulties, attachment issues, dissociation and the emotional effects of domestic violence.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Sessions form part of a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies by location.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Helen works from practical, evidence-based approaches that help people understand patterns and respond differently. One common approach she uses focuses on examining how past experiences shape current behaviour and relationships. This helps when people keep repeating the same painful patterns and want clear steps to try instead.

Another approach emphasises stabilising tools and coping strategies for people who have experienced trauma or strong emotions. That work looks at small, achievable actions to reduce overwhelm and manage day-to-day distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how problems show up, then agree an approach that fits. Clients take an active role in deciding what to try and review progress over time.

Practical benefits of doing counselling remotely include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. The exact session options are not listed here, so please confirm current formats before booking. Online sessions can make short check-ins, longer weekly work or scheduled appointments easier to arrange around family and work commitments.
