You need to get your terminology straight first. A "helper" is class
for creating or manipulating your view output. What you seem to be
asking is how to get the HtmlHelper to create nested HTML tags.

echo $this->Html->link(
$this->Html->img(
'path/to/the/image',
array(
'width' => xxx,
'height' => yyy,
'alt' => 'blah blah blah',
'style' => 'for styling the img tag'
)
),
array(
// route or URL here
),
array(
'style' => 'for styling the a tag',
'escape' => false // important when wrapping an img
)
);

Keep in mind that you don't have to use the helpers for everything.
You could just do:

<div><?php echo $this->Html->link(...); ?></div>
