About me
Hello, I’m Helen, founder of Listening Cove in Liverpool. I offer person centred counselling in a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and supported.
I understand that life can feel overwhelming at times and reaching out for support can feel like a big step. My aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
I offer both face to face and online counselling for adults, creating flexible support that works around your needs and lifestyle.

My Approach
As a person centred counsellor, I believe that you are the expert of your own life. I will work alongside you with empathy, care and understanding, helping you explore what is going on for you without judgement or pressure.
I offer a calm and supportive therapeutic relationship where you can:
- Talk openly and honestly
- Explore thoughts and emotions safely
- Build self-awareness and confidence

Training, qualifications & experience
A little about me, i have a passion for helping and supporting people and i have done this for the past 20 years, working with individuals, adults, children, young people and families. I am trained in Autism, ADHD, Trauma and parenting approaches. I believe that everybody has the right to learn and understand themselves and feel accepted for who they are. Sometimes in life we feel stuck, lost, confused and helpless. Sometimes our past can affect our present feelings which in turn can affect our future.
I help clients learn how to regulate themselves, this means I offer a calm, steady presence to help stabilize your nervous system.
Why I use regulation in counselling
Regulation is something I incorporate into counselling because sometimes, before we can explore difficult thoughts, feelings or experiences, we first need to help the body and mind feel a little safer.
When we feel overwhelmed, anxious, stressed or triggered, our nervous system can move into a state of fight, flight, freeze or overwhelm. In these moments, it can be difficult to think clearly, process emotions, communicate what we need or fully engage in counselling.
Regulation isn't about making difficult emotions disappear or telling someone to "calm down." Instead, it's about developing ways to notice what is happening in our body and mind and find ways to feel more grounded and present.

Member organisations
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.
