About me
Hi I'm Helen and am keen to promote good mental health and well being. My aim is to provide a safe and comfortable space to explore any issues and help facilitate reflection, growth or change. My approach is flexible to meet your needs within the therapy room.
I understand each individual has their own experiences and perspectives and I aim to understand this when working with you. I am here to listen in a non-judgemental and supportive environment.
With over 20 years experience, I am qualified to work with children, young people and adults. I have worked with a wide range of clients and presenting issues in various settings.
Initially trained in person centred therapy, I have gained various knowledge to provide a holistic approach. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to their professional and ethical guidelines. I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate.
I believe you are the core of the therapy and I work as flexibly as I can to meet the needs of each person depending on age, situation and what you would like to achieve from therapy. Please feel free to contact me for further information or an informal chat.

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.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
