Helena Marsh

Helena is the Lifestyle Columnist & Contributing Editor at Long Distance Guide, covering the quieter, harder parts of staying close to someone who lives somewhere else.

Writing on emotional intimacy, longing, vulnerability, and the small loyalties that hold a relationship together, Helena works alongside our editors and outside contributors to create content tailored to couples navigating long-distance life.

From slow-paced essays on missing someone to literary pieces on trust under absence, Helena works with our editorial team to help couples feel met, not lectured.

With a background in features journalism and a recurring column on couples economics, Helena has written across several titles in her freelance career. Before she graduated from the University of Manchester with a BA in English Literature, she trained on the women's desk at the Manchester Evening News, and her byline has since appeared in Stylist, The Guardian, and Refinery29 UK.
