About Heli

Heli Annika Giles works as an integrative therapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Annika brings three years of practical experience to sessions and speaks English and Finnish.

She offers a calm, person-centred style that aims to make talking easier. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people name what is troubling them.

Background and approach

Annika helps with everyday pressures such as stress, work strain and the cost-of-living worries. She also supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship problems and grief. Practical coping strategies and clearer understanding of triggers are part of the work.

She often helps people with self-esteem, perfectionism and feelings of not belonging. Parenting strains, caregiver stress and blended family issues are also within her focus. Annika draws on approaches that suit each person rather than using one fixed method.

When trauma, loss or chronic health challenges are present, sessions aim to restore a sense of control and build small, manageable changes. Clients set the pace and goals, and progress is reviewed together. The overall aim is to help people feel more like themselves again.

To start, a simple matching process is used so prospective clients can find a good fit and book sessions that work for them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small steps that make life feel more meaningful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches are often used to tackle anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Sessions begin by exploring what the client hopes to change, then the style is adjusted over time as progress is reviewed together.

Online therapy with this counsellor includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from home and are good for more in-depth work. Phone sessions can be a lighter check-in or suit low bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter updates or when typing feels easier than speaking. These flexible options help people fit counselling around work, family and other commitments.
