Helen Fox, BACP

Helen Fox is a BACP registered person centred counsellor who works from Southend On Sea in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which indicates adherence to professional standards and ethical practice. Helen supports both adults and young people, and many of her clients are based in the South East of England.

Over four years of practice have given her experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, family and relationship difficulties, grief and loss, behavioural and social challenges, self-esteem, school and career issues, anger and stress management, and life transitions. She is also trained in trauma informed modalities and brings that understanding into work with people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events.

Helen describes her work as grounded in helping people develop healthier skills and practical tools to manage day-to-day challenges as well as longer-term issues. She offers supportive, person-centred care focused on the goals each client brings and adapts her approach to individual needs. Her practice hours are Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 6:45pm, and she aims to respond to messages within one working day. Messages received at the weekend will be answered on the next working day, and she is typically not available on UK public holidays.

Approaches that guide online sessions with Helen

Helen integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and build practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action - useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections, which can be helpful for intimacy issues, relationship difficulties, and attachment concerns. As a person centred practitioner, Helen applies Client-Centred Therapy principles that prioritise the client's experience, offering empathetic listening and support to foster self-understanding and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Helen works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as the work develops so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Helen is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from home or while traveling, support continuity of care, and allow clients to choose the format that best suits their day-to-day life.
