About Helene
Helene Levin is an ACA counsellor with 11 years of experience based in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Her practice also covers addictions, sleeping problems, parenting strain and coping with big life changes. She supports people dealing with attachment and intimacy concerns and related issues such as abandonment and codependency.
Helene frames clients as experts in their own stories. Sessions focus on naming emotions, noticing patterns and trying practical steps that feel manageable. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred methods. Conversations are direct and down-to-earth, with an aim to make things clearer and more workable.
In session she helps people sort through relationship patterns, communication problems and control issues. She also offers support for trauma and abuse, domestic violence impacts, and recovery from drug and alcohol problems. Practical coping skills for sleep, motivation and anger are part of the work when they are needed.
Helene pays attention to caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and co-morbidity where multiple issues overlap. She helps clients look at commitment worries, forgiveness and the emotional fallout of separation or disaster. Her approach combines talking, practical exercises and reflective noticing.
If someone wants to start, Helene asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that clients can cancel at any time, and session cost varies with location.
How Helene uses EFT, ACT and CBT online
Helene works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and track difficult emotions and relationship patterns. EFT in this context focuses on how feelings shape interactions and on helping clients notice and change repeating patterns that cause distress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values, even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes that can improve mood and behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helene will discuss which methods might suit a person's concerns, goals and preferences and adapt the mix collaboratively. Clients and the counsellor decide together how to move forward based on what helps in early sessions.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer a focus on talking and practical exercises without attending in person.
