Helen Townsend Registered Member MBACP, Dip Couns

About me

I am a counsellor with over 10 years experience, focusing on self-development, growth and responsibilities. I seek to help individuals recognise their strengths, creativity and choice in the 'here and now'.

There are many different approaches to counselling and I focus on an individual's self worth and values. Being valued as a person, without being judged, can help an individual to accept who they are and reconnect with themselves.

I promote growth and development in individuals through the exploration of difficult issues. Together we can explore the things you may want to change, assist you in making sense of confusing or overwhelming emotions, help you to develop resources to cope, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and how you may relate to others.

I also specialise in working with young people from the age of 11 years with a view to building self esteem, development of abilities to cope with anxieties and peer pressure, plus I also have a wealth of experience dealing with suicidal feelings, self harm and anger management strategies.

I also now run a team of counsellors who have great versatility across a wide number of issues and have a good range of availability. This service is vetted by me & each counsellor has to complete a robust assessment process prior to being accepted. So if I can't fit you in, there is always someone within the service that can.
