Helen Lamming helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges and anger. She works with people dealing with separation, blended family issues, fertility worries and communication problems. Her approach is grounded in respect and clear, practical support.

Helen holds NCPS and has eleven years of counselling experience. She listens first, then helps people make sense of what matters most to them. Sessions focus on improving connection, managing strong feelings and finding clearer ways to talk.

Background and approach

Helen uses approaches that look at attachment, emotions and inner parts to guide the work. Her background includes extensive counselling at Relate where she specialised in relationship and family work. Helen has also completed a Master of Education in Psychology of Education and holds a CPCAB Diploma in Family Counselling and a Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling from Relate.

She has more than 4,000 hours of counselling practice. Helen offers online-only sessions from the United Kingdom and works with both short-term and longer-term goals. She sees people for focused agreements of a set number of sessions or for open-ended work, depending on what they need.

Her manner is warm, direct and collaborative. People can expect practical tools and conversational, client-led sessions. Helen aims to help people feel heard and to build skills for better communication, clearer boundaries and calmer responses to conflict.

Approaches for relationships and emotional repair online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and supports building more stable connection in close relationships.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the feelings under conflicts and the cycle that keeps partners or family members stuck. It helps people name emotions, shift unhelpful interaction patterns and create stronger emotional bonds.

Internal Family Systems treats difficult feelings as parts inside a person that have roles and needs. Working with these parts can reduce self-criticism, calm dissociation and improve decision making in relationships.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Helen will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs, preferences and pace. The method can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for visual connection and deeper conversation; phone can be useful when lower bandwidth is required or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Messaging and live chat suit shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions or times when fitting therapy into a busy day is important. These options make it easier to continue steady work around other commitments.
