Helen Strutt MBACP

As an experienced qualified Person-Centred Therapist I work with a wide range of emotional difficulties including relationship issues, generalised anxiety and depression, bipolar, post viral fatigue (PVF), stress/work related conflicts, and family dilemmas. I’m also professionally trained in Bereavement Counselling.

I work with a diverse range of clients from all age groups and different backgrounds encouraging them to find new ways to deal with aspects of their lives that they may find troublesome or painful. Discovering new perspectives that can bring about change and a sense of wellbeing is a major aim of the Person-Centred Therapy that I practice.

My counselling approach is based on successfully building a therapeutic relationship with clients which enables them to explore their feelings and emotions within a safe and trusting environment. I will work with you in a space where you will not be judged, where you will be heard with an empathic understanding and receive honest and open responses.

This approach has helped many clients to gain a better understanding of how their feelings and emotions impact on their daily lives, to learn to value and trust their own internal senses and to produce their own solutions which lead to positive outcomes.  

Clients have also found that not only does Person-Centred Therapy help them with deep emotional issues that need resolving but also enables them to build motivation, increase empowerment and to develop improved self-awareness.

Wild Counselling - Walk and Talk Therapy

I have recently added Walk and Talk Therapy to my portfolio however because of a recent government change in Covid19 regulations I am unable to do these sessions until restrictions are lifted. Until then I’m continuing my online work, supporting as many clients as I can as we all try to make some sense of the next few months ahead of us. You can reach me either through wildcounselling.co.uk or the contact details above. In the meantime a few words below describe the concept behind Wild Counselling and how working in different ways can help to inspire unexpected change.

Wild Counselling draws on the benefits of walking and talking to find innovative solutions to psychological problems. Holding sessions in different outdoor environments including parks, countryside walking paths and riversides has proven to aid exploration of issues and help to trigger solutions that could otherwise lay dormant. This is nature working at its best, giving individuals a sense of freedom to think through problems and share their emotions with their therapist.
