About me

Hi, I'm Helga. I have been a practicing counsellor for 17 years the last 5 years working in Cardiff.
Are you experiencing painful, confusing issues in relationships with a partner or family member?
Are you struggling to manage your emotions dealing with change or trauma?
Are you stuck in a pattern of depression or anxiety uncertain how to move forward and find meaning again?

Counselling may be exactly what you need - a space to pause, reflect and breathe calmly, truly heard with compassion and without judgement. I offer a gentle and solution focussed service aiming for positive change from the very first session. Although seeing a counsellor for the first time may seem daunting, I can assure you I work with every client at their own pace with a safe confidential approach, exploring collaboratively exactly what it is that is missing and what you feel you need to feel content and in balance again.  

My approach is humanistic, relational and existentialist. I am very interested in spirituality and living mindfully aware of the impact of how we experience our emotions and the power of the imagination. I work as a Human Givens Therapist exploring the emotional and physical needs, and innate resources which every living being is gifted with. I work collaboratively with clients to determine how to manage this mix in a more self nurturing and balanced manner to help alleviate suffering and find new perspectives to better deal with discomfort.

I am experienced in working with adults, couples, and children and I am particularly interested in working on relationship issues, anxiety and trauma. I use the Human Givens 'rewind' technique to heal the suffering caused by PTSD and phobias. I have a background in teaching children and young adults. I worked as a bereavement counsellor for 12 years and as an accredited children's bereavement counsellor also. I have worked as a play therapist in primary schools and as a school project manager setting up a new counselling service within a primary school. I worked for 3 years for a charity specialising in sexual abuse seeing 15-20 clients a week dealing with complex trauma and a range of issues including PTSD, eating disorders, self harm, suicide ideation, attachment disorders and DID. I also have experience of working as a lecturer teaching counselling at foundation degree level.

Alongside my private practice I currently work as a school counsellor and as a counsellor for students at Cardiff university. I am also a qualified supervisor. I see private clients in my home during the day and evening and sometimes at the weekend. I enjoy working with all age groups and I am happy to visit people at home if they have a disabling condition.
