About Helen
Helen Ridlington-White is a psychotherapist with 28 years of experience. She works from an integrative perspective and draws on child development, counselling and symbolic approaches to help people understand themselves more deeply. She has worked with a wide range of people, including those with neurodiversity.
Helen spent several years as a counsellor for the NHS and now also offers supervision to students and other professionals. Sessions are shaped around what each person finds helpful.
Background and approach
Conversations can be held by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Creative methods and artistic self-expression can be included when they suit the person’s needs and preferences. Helen’s style tends to be reflective and relational.
She listens for the patterns that make life feel stuck and helps people find practical steps to change. Practical skills from mindfulness and emotion regulation are offered alongside deeper exploration of life stories and symbolic material. People come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties.
Other areas Helen supports include parenting, ADHD, addiction, trauma and issues linked to adoption or attachment. Her practice also addresses midlife questions, self-esteem, women’s issues and coping with life changes. Therapy is a collaborative process where goals are set together.

Online support
How Helen’s approaches work online
Jungian Therapy looks at the symbols and stories that shape a person’s inner life and identity. Online sessions can help people work through dreams, recurring themes and life transitions using dialogue and creative exercises. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person’s own insights guide the pace of change. This approach suits those who need empathy and a steady place to talk through feelings and decisions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Helen discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can include mixing reflective exploration with practical mindfulness or emotion-regulation skills as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow visual contact for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity even when routines change.
