About me

Hello, I’m Helen...a qualified Humanistic and Integrative Counsellor and Coach with a degree in psychology.

I offer both counselling and therapeutic coaching to individuals seeking something quieter, more grounded — and real.

You don’t need to have the right words.
You don’t need to be in 'the right place.'
You can just begin, from where you are.

Some people come to therapy knowing what hurts. Others carry a more subtle weight — a sense of disconnection, a heaviness that’s hard to name. Whether you’re moving through loss, self-esteem issues, anxiety, or simply feel lost in the noise of it all, you are welcome here.

My approach is gentle, warm, and rooted in real connection.
I offer a space to sit with what’s been heavy, to begin understanding your story, and to gently find your way forward — in a way that feels safe, spacious, and truly your own.

We’ll work together at your pace, with care and compassion, but also with a little challenge and clarity when it’s needed. Whether we meet by phone, online, or (occasionally) in person at the cottage in Somerset, my aim is to create a space where you can breathe, let go a little, and begin.

Sessions are available Monday to Friday (9am–5pm, last appointment).

I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation with no pressure to book — just a quiet conversation, and a chance to see if it feels like the right fit.

Warmly,
Helen

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
