Helmi Milliken , BACP

Helmi Milliken studied in the United Kingdom and brings five years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem challenges and career difficulties. She works with clients aged 16 and above and has supported individuals from a range of faith backgrounds, offering a calm and respectful space to explore life changes and emotional concerns.

She emphasises a collaborative, person-led way of working, trusting that each person is the expert on their own life and can guide the direction of therapy. That perspective shapes sessions that balance compassionate listening with practical support tailored to the client’s goals.

Her practice addresses a broad mix of concerns, including panic attacks, abandonment issues, workplace tensions, young adult transitions and women's issues, as well as grief, loss and relationship-related guilt or shame. Helmi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients develop coping strategies and build greater self-love and resilience.

Helmi holds the BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She recognises that starting therapy can feel daunting and aims to make the process approachable, helping clients to find therapy a rewarding step toward clearer thinking and healthier coping.

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Helmi Milliken works from a person-centred stance that recognises each client’s own expertise about their life. This approach focuses on empathetic listening and collaborative exploration to help clients clarify values, build self-understanding and set meaningful goals; it is particularly useful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns.

Alongside person-centred listening, she uses practical, skills-focused techniques drawn from evidence-based practice to help manage symptoms of anxiety, panic and workplace stress. These strategies can include structured coping tools and problem-solving methods that are taught and practised in sessions to support daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Helmi works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent, ongoing support with a licensed professional while fitting sessions around work, study and family commitments.
