About Helen

Helen Hampton is a counsellor based in Scotland who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship pain, trauma and major life changes. She works with individuals living with depression, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and intimacy-related concerns. Helen also supports people dealing with grief, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Helen begins by getting to know each person and how their difficulties affect daily life.

Background and approach

She asks what has helped and what has not, and listens for strengths clients already carry. Sessions are a chance to talk through current problems and imagine how things might be different. Helen aims to build a warm, honest relationship where people feel understood and respected.

Her way of working is pluralistic - that means she draws on several evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person. She often uses person-centred ideas to foster empathy and acceptance, solution-focused steps to try practical changes, and psychodynamic thinking when background patterns are relevant. Helen also brings a neuroscience perspective to understand reactions and responses.

She has four years of counselling experience and has worked extensively with people affected by trauma, including post-traumatic stress and complex post-traumatic stress. Practical safety and careful pacing are used when traumatic memories are discussed. Helen values collaboration and invites clients to bring their own goals to the work.

Sessions can cover additional areas such as abandonment and attachment issues, dissociation, panic, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, social anxiety, somatic symptoms, women's issues and concerns common to young adults.

Tailoring approaches for online counselling

Helen commonly draws on person-centred work and solution-focused methods to help people in online sessions. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance so clients can make sense of their feelings. It helps with low self-esteem, relationship worries and emotional overwhelm. Solution-focused techniques look for small, practical steps and past successes to build change quickly and can suit stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas when exploring long-standing patterns and attachment concerns, offering a way to understand repeating relationship difficulties or feelings linked to earlier life events. When trauma is present she works carefully and at a measured pace so people feel able to manage difficult memories and strong emotions. Deciding which mix to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client agree on goals and try approaches that feel right for the person.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be better if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or caring responsibilities and can help people maintain momentum between meetings.
