About me
Hello, my name is Helen, and I am an Integrative Counsellor in Horsham, West Sussex. I’m experienced in supporting adults and young people (teens) with anxiety, stress, low mood, life transitions and feeling overwhelmed. I have a special interest in neurodiversity and offer counselling for autistic and ADHD clients.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming but you don’t have to face things alone. I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin to explore a way forward.
I offer flexible counselling to suit you: Face-to-face counselling in Horsham, Online counselling (video), and Telephone counselling. I also offer Walk & Talk therapy in Horsham Park and Tilgate Park, a relaxed outdoor alternative to sitting in a counselling room.
If you feel ready to take that first step, please feel free to get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
- Higher Diploma in Integrative Counselling - Middlesex University
- Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People
- Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling
My experience includes working with young people and adults as a counsellor in schools. I also have experience supporting clients with a wide range of issues at a counselling charity in Surrey, and have worked with individuals experiencing bereavement and anticipatory bereavement through a local hospice.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
The Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) is a Christian professional membership organisation for those involved in counselling/psychotherapy and linked professions, i.e. pastoral care, coaching and spiritual direction, in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
