About me
I am an integrative counsellor, accredited supervisor and Reiki practitioner and I have been in practice since 2008. I offer a warm, safe and supportive service in all areas of my work, promoting personal exploration and growth. I recognise that it is not always easy to talk about issues that bring us to seek help, so I also use a creative and holistic approach in my work to promote healing. I work in different settings within the North West of England, with my primary business being located in Colne, Lancashire.
I am a registered member of the BACP and an accredited registrant of the NCPS. I offer in-person and online therapy and supervision and I have a creative approach to all of my work having worked with children and young people for many years.
Training, qualifications & experience
Since qualifying in 2008, I have worked as a counsellor in a variety of educational settings across East Lancashire and Greater Manchester, using my skills to enable children and young adults to overcome their personal difficulties and identify the tools that they need to increase their resilience and self-belief. In 2010 I returned to management, with my roles including Healing Centre Manager, Children’s Counselling Service Manager and more recently, Deputy Chief Officer for an adult mental health charity. I have six years experience as a Safeguarding Lead, providing training for frontline mental health staff.
I am passionate about self-care and I promote a holistic approach when it comes to matters of the mind, body and soul. I have provided many workshops for schools, colleges, charities and private businesses, encouraging reflective practice to enable positive change to personal values, organisational policies and work/life balance.
In 2022 I qualified as a Clinical Supervisor and I am now working as a private practitioner providing counselling, Reiki healing, supervision and training. I offer an integrative and creative approach in all areas of my work and to all age groups. My supervisory clients include qualified and trainee counsellors, supervisors and care professionals working for both public and private sector organisations.
Feedback from both clients and peers includes that “Helen provides a warm, safe and supportive space that encourages positive growth”.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
