About Helene
Helene Levin is an ACA counsellor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. She sees each person as the expert in their own life and helps them use their strengths to move forward. Helene is approachable and direct, and she encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy to recognise that taking the first step matters.
Helene works with a broad range of concerns including relationships, grief and loss, self-esteem, addictions and issues around intimacy. She also supports people facing career pressures, parenting strain, sleep problems and compassion fatigue. Men’s wellbeing is one of the areas she lists among her interests, alongside work with LGBT clients and people coping with trauma or domestic violence.
Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred therapy. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical, focusing on small, workable changes rather than jargon. Helene explains concepts plainly and helps people try strategies between meetings.
With 11 years of experience in counselling, Helene brings steady, experienced support to everyday problems and complex struggles. She helps people unpack thinking patterns, improve communication and build routines that reduce stress. Many clients use therapy to manage life transitions, grief and relationship conflict.
People who start with Helene are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on her availability. She works in Australia and conducts sessions in English.
How Helene’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it’s often used for stress, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, helping people feel heard and supported as they work through issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Helene will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, Client-Centred methods or a mix best suits the issue at hand, and adjust as therapy progresses.
If you plan to work online please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. It can also let someone focus on exercises at home, use video when face-to-face contact helps, or opt for a lower-bandwidth option when internet speed is limited. Appropriately qualified therapists will discuss which arrangement suits the client’s goals and routine.
