About Helene
Helene Levin is an ACA counsellor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief and relationship problems. She writes plainly and works alongside clients to build small, doable steps toward calmer days. Helene acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make first appointments straightforward and respectful.
With 11 years of experience, Helene helps people facing depression, low self-esteem and motivation struggles. She also supports those dealing with addiction, sleeping problems, parenting strain and anger. Her practice includes work around attachment, abandonment and communication problems, as well as coping after separation or other life changes.
Helene uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. Client-centred work creates space to be heard and understood.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Expect to talk about what's been happening, try short exercises, and set small goals to try between sessions. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
If anger, grief or relationship strain are taking up too much energy, Helene offers calm, steady support to help people regain balance. Starting therapy is often the hardest step, and she works to keep the process clear and approachable.

How Helene's approaches translate to online work
Helene draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and when life changes leave someone unsure of what to do next. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test practical behaviour changes that reduce distress and improve sleep or mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Helene works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. She will talk through options, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can sit during a lunch break or between commitments. Discuss practical arrangements when you book so sessions match your routine and needs.
