A helix is pretty much the same thing as a spiral. There are some mathematical differences between the two (for example, a spiral's diameter diminishes as it goes where a helix's stays the same, but for a layman, they are essentially the same shape.
I assume you are talking about this because of DNA. DNA is in the shape of a double helix, or two spiraling sides that are winding around one another.
If it's important to know the exact difference between a helix and a spiral, you can follow the link I've provided.
