"It has helped me..." doesn't sound quite correct to me but i am not a native speaker so i may be wrong

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

English speakers use has/have/had to signify perfect tenses, meaning the actions are completed but have effects that continue.

So past perfect: It had helped me. Present perfect: it has helped me.

No. 'Has helped' is the present perfect.
