About Helene
Helene Levin is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical steps people can try right away and encourages each person to bring their own story and strengths into sessions.
Helene believes the person sitting in front of her knows their life best. She works alongside people to notice what matters to them and to build small, doable changes. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to bear and to increase clarity about next steps.
Her work covers grief, trauma and abuse, addictions and compassion fatigue, among other concerns. She also supports people facing parenting strain, career pressure, intimacy-related worries and sleep problems. Codependency and attachment-related issues are listed among her focus areas.
Over 11 years Helene has developed a straightforward style. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to match the person’s needs. Conversations are down-to-earth and paced to what feels manageable.
Helene asks people to notice what values matter to them and to take steps that align with those values. She invites curiosity about unhelpful patterns and offers practical tools for coping and communication. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to begin working on difficult issues.
How Helene’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and take small steps that match those values. It focuses less on symptom elimination and more on living a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports clearer emotional expression and stronger emotional connections when relationship or intimacy issues cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helene will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that fit those aims. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to attend without travel, fit therapy into a busy day, or use shorter check-ins when time is tight. They also allow practical exercises, worksheets and in-session behavioural experiments to be completed between meetings. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt these methods to suit the person’s situation and daily routines.
