Helena had a traumatic time growing up. When she was young, her mother had a severe nervous breakdown. It took her three years to recover. And, if that wasn't enough, her father had a surgery gone wrong. He suffered from complications during a procedure to remove a tumor. The difficulties left him half-paralyzed.

Despite her situation at home, she excelled at her studies. The Flight Club actress of six feet and two inches (1.57 m) height completed her A-levels at Westminster School. Later, she tried to enroll at King's College, Cambridge. But the institute did not admit her because they felt that she would discontinue pursuing her acting career.

After almost five years of being single, the actress made headlines again in October 2018. She got romantically linked with writer Rye Dag Holmboe. 

With an age gap of 20 years between Helena and Rye, many people thought it was just a fling. However, the duo proved them wrong as their romance stayed strong.
