About me
Welcome my name is Helen,
I am an integrative therapist and coach with many years of experience supporting people to overcome life's obstacles and difficulties.
I understand the enormous amount of courage it takes to reach out and start counselling especially when you are experiencing a challenging time, although, you don't have to be in a crisis to benefit from therapy but it's ok if you are.
People can come for therapy for a variety of reasons.
Sometimes we just talk and process what is happening in our lives in a safe space with the acknowledgement that we will be heard and not judged.
I appreciate it can feel daunting starting therapy, so I provide a free 30-minute first-session assessment via telephone or Zoom so that you can ask any questions you may have about starting counselling with me to ensure I am the right fit for you.
I specialise in working with people experiencing anxiety. Worry, fear, feelings of dread, and stress including work-related, distressing thoughts. General anxiety disorders ( GAD), social anxiety/phobia ( SAD) panic attacks, overthinking, lack of confidence and feeling not enough.
Depression, low self-esteem, hopelessness, guilt, low mood, lack of motivation, sleep difficulties, self-critical thoughts and behaviours.
As well as relationship difficulties, life changes and struggles with moving into a different phase of your life.
My therapeutic approach is supportive and sensitive. That incorporates cognitive behavioural therapy ( CBT), solution-focused, and person-centered therapy tailored to you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm wishes,
Helen

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.
