About me
Are you struggling with your mental health? Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in your own head? Trying to hold everything together and feeling misunderstood ? I provide a warm and supportive accepting space to explore what you are going through, with issues around anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, borderline personality disorder (BPD), low self-confidence and low self-esteem, helping you feel more like yourself again without judgment.
Hi, my name is Helen, and I am a Gestalt Counsellor offering a supportive space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace.
I work with people who are struggling, feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves. I also have a particular passion for working with individuals with ADHD and autism. I recognise the unique challenges and strengths that come with neurodiversity.
My approach focuses on helping you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations in the present moment. Together, we will gently explore what is going on for you, helping you make sense of your experiences and develop a clearer understanding of yourself.
I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment where you feel heard and respected. Through our work, you may begin to notice patterns, build self-confidence, and discover new ways of responding to life’s challenges.
I’m here to support you.

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.
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.

Further information
I am dedicated to continuous professional development and regularly participate in training related to Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), neurodiversity, trauma, alcohol abuse, and domestic abuse. This ongoing education enables me to work sensitively and safely with clients who have experienced complex or challenging life experiences, providing an informed, compassionate, and inclusive therapeutic environment.
I prioritise ethical and safe practice and engage in regular clinical supervision to support reflective and effective work.
