About me

Hi my name is Helen Burrows,

Just a phone call away, based in Carrbrook near Stalybridge. I am an empathetic and approachable, fully insured and accredited professional Counsellor providing a personal service. I adhere to government guidelines in respect to Covid - 19 rules. Offering face to face appointments, phone or video call. I offer an initial free phone consultation.

I feel passionately about helping people through difficult times, as well as helping individuals to reach their personal goals. I appreciate that sometimes life is a struggle and from time to time it can be difficult to move forward. I offer an approach which is non judgemental and which helps individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings and emotions. I use different theory models appropriate to the clients needs. Counselling gives individuals the time and space to gain different perspectives and work through any presenting problems,helping them to move forward.

I have experience of Counselling clients with a wide range of issues some of which include:

Stress and Anxiety,
Depression,
Addictions
Relationship and Family Issues,
Anger Management
Confidence/Low Self Esteem.

Other issues I deal with are listed further down the page.

I am DBS (CRB) checked and I have regular clinical supervision. My practice is based locally in the Tameside area, and home visits can be arranged locally dependent on Covid guidelines

I have previously worked for 20 years in the National Health Service in Pathology. In addition, I work in the voluntary sector at the Women's Centre in Ashton, and most recently was employed by a local organisation offering support to individuals and families suffering from drug, alcohol abuse and mental health issues. I am also qualified in:
