Helen Lamming

Helen Lamming NCPS helps people manage relationship strain, family conflict, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges and anger. She supports those facing separation and divorce alongside issues such as attachment, codependency and communication problems. Helen writes plainly and listens closely to understand each person’s situation and goals.

She works from the belief that people know their own lives best and already have strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication rather than jargon. Helen aims to make therapy steady and straightforward so people can take the next steps they want to take.

Helen trained in a range of psychological and counselling programmes and holds NCPS alongside CPCAB qualifications. She has accumulated around 11 years of practice and over 4,000 counselling hours, including substantial work for Relate in relationship and family counselling. Those roles gave her regular exposure to couples and family patterns across many situations.

Helen now offers online counselling and sees both short-term and longer-term clients. She aims to be flexible with timing and often works on Fridays, weekends and most afternoons to suit people with busy schedules. She follows the CPCAB Code of Ethics and receives clinical supervision.

In sessions people can expect a warm, respectful space to talk through what matters most. Helen combines listening with gentle reflection and practical ideas so people can try different ways of communicating and making choices. She will agree a short-term plan if that suits your needs or continue work on an open-ended basis.

How Helen’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns of connection today. It helps people notice and change repeated ways of relating that get in the way of closeness or trust.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on feelings and the interaction between partners or within close relationships. It helps people name underlying emotions and shift the cycles that cause hurt or withdrawal.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Helen will discuss what feels most useful based on your goals, history and what you want to change, and then tailor sessions together. That may mean drawing on attachment work, EFT or a client-centred way of listening and responding.

Helen currently offers online counselling, so confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel, and allow people to meet from wherever they are located. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone or audio when they do not want video, while others choose longer video sessions for deeper discussion. Check the available formats and times when you arrange your first appointment so sessions fit your routine.
