About me

Hi I’m Helen, passionate about supporting you to find a way through challenges in your life from the past or the present.   I can offer you warmth and acceptance in a calm, private and non-judgemental space to help you feel like yourself again. 

I'm experienced in working with adults and young people on challenges including anxiety, depression, relationships, ADHD, work issues, bereavement, trauma, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, low self-esteem, identity, self harm and living with cancer. I work integratively, which means I draw from varied methodologies and will adapt to find a way that feels right for you as an individual, keeping your needs at the centre. I will be here to listen and help you work through your past and your present to help you find a way forward.  I work in person, online and on the phone.

Life can present challenges for us at home, at work and in relationships. Counselling offers a safe and private space to talk, to allow you to explore difficult thoughts and emotions until you find your way forward. It can feel overwhelming to find a way through alone. I’m here to be alongside you. There may be events in your past that are invading your present and affecting your ability to do the things you want to.

I feel it is a great privilege to help you work through difficulties which may then positively impact your life.

I trained with Rape Crisis and am experienced in working with the trauma of rape, sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse. Whether this is a recent event or something that has happened in the past, having a private, calm and validating place to talk can help you to find a way to recover from these distressing experiences. 

It takes courage to reach out for help, I’d love to hear from you. 

As part of my practice I work with:

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
