About me

About Me
Hello my name is Helen, welcome to my profile page.
I qualified as a Counsellor because, in previous jobs, people found me easy to talk to and to tell me their problems. I wanted to be able to say or do something to help but didn’t know how. After experiencing some difficult times in my life, and not wanting to ‘burden’ family and friends, I went to see a counsellor myself. This helped me enormously; it also helped me to realise that being a Counsellor is what I wanted to be so that I can put my skill as a listener into something positive.
It has been my privilege to have worked with varying issues, including, but not exclusively: -bereavement, addiction, fear, guilt, rape, sexuality, pre and post-natal uncertainty.  I have worked with Forces veterans, families and carers of people with a wide range of problems which include, Dementia, Alzheimers, Autism/Aspegers and Parkinsons Disease.

As a Humanistic Counsellor, I believe that it is you, the client, that has the answers.  My work is to explore with you and draw out the answers you seek and to help you reach your full potential. I may challenge your thought processes and examine past events to find out where those thoughts originate, but I do not dwell on the past as it cannot be changed, it is to gain insight into a deeper understanding of the cause of a particular problem.
My work with you is confidential and non-judgemental.

Please feel free to call or email for an appointment. If you ring and my voicemail kicks in, please do leave a message with your name and contact number as I may be with someone. I will return your call as soon as I can.
