I’m a licensed therapist based in the UK with over 10 years of professional experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. I specialize in helping clients manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship difficulties, heal from trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss. I also support clients with building motivation, improving self-esteem, and developing lasting confidence.
My approach is rooted in respect, compassion, and genuine human connection. I believe that therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and tailored entirely to you. No two people are the same, so our conversations and treatment plan will be designed to reflect your unique needs, goals, and pace.
Starting therapy can feel like a big and sometimes daunting step—but it’s also a powerful one. If you’re here, it means you’ve already begun. I’m here to walk alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Helen Heap. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Helen has been brilliant. She's very approachable and easy to talk to. Quickly past formalities, with engaging questions getting to the crux of the issues, Helen gave practical guidance and pointed me in the direction of appropriate and effective resources.
