About me
Hi, I am Helen & I'm an Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist & Counsellor. I know that it takes a huge amount of courage to seek out counselling. I recognise that & will provide an authentic, non judgemental approach to exploring whatever it is you might bring to therapy. An integrated approach means I draw on a number of specific therapies that can treat each client in a variety of situations, rather than having a single approach. I believe the therapeutic relationship & trust are of key importance in therapy work & have a down to earth, but highly compassionate approach, often taking a trauma informed approach to counselling.
I follow work done by BAATN Black, African & Asian Therapy Network, which is important to me professionally, ethically & personally.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have 20 years experience working with adolescents and young adults on improving confidence and mood, and lowering anxiety & stress, including a diverse adult client base within a University environment. I also have diverse adult client base which operates from private rooms in a leafy part of Sheffield. I include appropriate interventions, which are tailored to help clients make sense of what is at the heart of so much of their pain and to figure out challenges within their relationships both professionally and personally.
I love doing this work. I believe that being trusted with other people's most private, inner thoughts and feelings is a privilege and teaches me a great deal in the process. Finding right fit for you, as a person is essential in the therapy process. I offer a free 15 minute chat to see how we might feel that we can work together and to hear a bit about you. I am currently working online and offer face to face sessions too.
Whilst I have worked with symptoms following trauma, I have also worked with more general emotional & behavioural issues which can get in the way of everyday life and leading the life you might want to lead.
Not everyone knows exactly what they want from this process. That’s really common. - It can be something we work out together. I offer warmth and a safe space in which you can find your way to feeling less ‘stuck’ and more able to move forward in your life.
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.
