In these challenging times we are only able to offer counselling via telephone or by secure online video link using Zoom or Skype. There are many advantages to using these methods as you, the client, is able to feel more relaxed in the comfort of your own home, some people find it easier to discuss difficult issues in this manner and clients are often surprised how natural they find it.
Helen will work with you as an individual to help you find wholeness and freedom to be the unique person that you are. Work can be on a short, medium or long-term basis, as you require.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
