Helena Mc Gillan, MNCS (Accred) MBACP Reg.
About me
Hi, I'm Helena and I specialise in child and adolescent therapy. I have over 10 years' experience working with children and young people. I use play and creative approaches to support my work.
As a fully qualified counsellor, I am able to work with children, young people and adults from a convenient location in the city centre, and online. I have experience of helping clients with a range of issues including bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and family difficulties.
It is important to find the right therapist for yourself or your child, so please feel free to call or email me to have a chat about how counselling can help.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
