Helen Moores, NCPS

Helen Moores is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, eating concerns and depression. She works from the view that each person knows their own story and that personal strengths are key to moving forward. Helen acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and she aims to make that first step easier to take.

She brings three years of professional experience to her practice. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversations about what is happening now and what someone wants to change. Helen listens for patterns that cause distress and helps people try small, workable steps between sessions.

Her approach is collaborative. Clients can expect a mix of reflective talking and goal-focused tasks designed around their needs. Helen emphasises building on existing strengths while learning new ways to manage difficult feelings and behaviours.

Helen works with a wide range of concerns beyond the main specialties, including ageing and geriatric issues, attachment and abandonment worries, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, long-term illness and pain, and feelings of isolation. She also supports people dealing with money worries, hoarding, and adjusting to life changes.

If someone is unsure where to begin, Helen uses an initial discussion to clarify priorities and plan next steps. Her aim is to make therapy understandable and directly relevant to everyday life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Helen uses evidence-based techniques focused on clear, practical change. One common way is to look at thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and then try new responses in daily life. This helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines around eating.

Another strand of work is strength-based and collaborative. Helen helps people identify what they already do well and builds on those resources when facing grief, relationship worries or the challenges of ageing. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused so progress is easy to track.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss different ways of working and decide together what fits best with someone’s needs, goals and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as things change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include making sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. If a quieter conversation or a shorter check-in suits someone better, those options can be discussed.
