Helen Allman

If you’re struggling under the weight of everything you’re trying to hold, you’ve come to the right place. I support those who are anxious, exhausted and overwhelmed: folk who need things to change, but don’t know where to start.

I use trauma-informed psychotherapy to help you process challenging emotional and embodied states, and identify and work through patterns that no longer serve you. As an ecotherapist, I work with nature, the land and the seasons to help you find the ground under your feet and bring yourself back into balance, so you can start living with energy, authenticity, and freedom.

I could be the right therapist for you if you recognise yourself in one or more of these:

• A people-pleaser who struggles to say no and establish healthy boundaries.
• Difficulty connecting with your anger.
• Easily flooded or overwhelmed by your own and others’ emotional states.
• Seeking help recovering from a controlling or abusive relationship.
• Late-identified ADHD / autistic / AuDHD and trying to process what this means for your identity and your life.
• Feeling frozen or collapsed in response to the crises facing our world right now.

I work in a trauma-informed way, building a relationship of trust and safety, before carefully working with the imprint of your past in your body and in your stories about yourself. Over time, the work we do together empowers you to live with more autonomy and clarity, and reconnects you with yourself, in meaningful relationships with others, and with your place in the wider, more-than-human world.

If you think I could be a good fit, please send me a message using the 'email me' button above. The first step is to schedule a free call, so you can find out more. If this feels good, we’ll have an initial session online, where you can see what therapy with me is like and we can discuss your needs in depth, including if you want to have therapy outdoors.
