Hi, my name is Helen, and I'm a qualified counsellor offering both face-to-face and online counselling to individuals 18 years+. I am a registered member of the BACP and I adhere to their professional and ethical framework. 

Life can present various challenges that, at times, can feel distressing, overwhelming and confusing. Such difficulties may start to affect your well-being, your relationships, and work. It is important to know, you are not alone and there is support available to help you navigate these moments.

Counselling can bring benefits of better mental and emotional health as well as increased self-awareness, self-acceptance, improved ways of relating with others and an ability to recognise and alter counterproductive behaviours that may not be benefiting you.  
 

As a qualified integrative counsellor,  I provide a safe, confidential space that fosters acceptance, understanding, and self-reflection. I am able to adapt a variety of counselling approaches so we can find a way to work together that is comfortable for you. 

I will use my skills and experience to support you in exploring your situation and the difficult thoughts or feelings you may be experiencing.  Working together we can help you empower yourself to make your own decisions in moving forward. Where appropriate I may offer tools, psychoeducation and additional resources which may assist in your well-being. 

I have worked alongside many clients experiencing a wide range of different challenges including:

Anxiety, 
Depression, 
Relationships difficulties, 
Grief and bereavement, 
Ill-health, 
Low self-esteem and confidence, 
Stress, 
Anger management, and many others. 

I have a special interest in trauma and how the mind and body are connected and can greatly influence an individual’s thoughts, emotions, responses, experiences and relationships.
