Hello,

I鈥檓 Helen, a psychotherapist and coach. I help my clients find their way and navigate this journey called life we are all travelling.

Whatever your struggles, if you want to make real sustainable change please reach out; I am here ready to help you move forward, find healing, discover your own power, and consciously choose your future.

Whatever has brought you here, whatever your reasons for seeking support, and whatever you are experiencing just now, there is something different beyond your present experience.

In life鈥檚 lottery, we all land in our own unique place with our one-off particular combination of nature, nurture, experiences within relationships, and exposure to different influences.

We all have our individual capacity to find our way in life and cope with the challenges we face. Some of us lose or haven鈥檛 yet found our direction or what best serves us, or we find ourselves stuck feeling compelled to use unhelpful ways to cope.

If you feel you can鈥檛 cope with life鈥檚 challenges and you want to find your way to feeling all is well, I am here to help you discover or recover your intrinsic wisdom and resilience and support you to thrive.

Here are some of the ways I help clients:

• Discover and make sense of your story and how you landed here
• Reframe and change how you feel towards yourself
• Gain the power to free yourself from any unhelpful and unhealthy habits and practices which are holding you back
• Connect with a genuine sense of self-worth, improve your self-esteem, take better self-care and move forward into a happier and healthier future
• Find how to live a life which feels meaningful and with purpose

I do hope you reach out, let鈥檚 talk and explore how I can help you.

I work in the North of England on the border between Yorkshire and Lancashire. Do you want to work online using Zoom or visit my office and work in person?

In my practice I offer four approaches to help clients make the changes they want to make:

• Psychotherapy
• Counselling
• Therapeutic coaching
• Coaching

Together we work out the best fit for you.

I work with compassion informed by and integrating evidence-based approaches always focussing on our relationship providing you with what you need, for however long you need, to get you to where you want to be.

Issues

Typically my clients want to work on how they feel or how they struggle within relationships, often these issues are linked to:

• Self-worth and self-esteem
• The challenges of living with neurodiversity, often ADHD
• Unhelpful ways of coping, including overdoing food and, or alcohol

Knowledge

My practice is informed by research and integrates theories from psychotherapy, psychology, and neuroscience.

The work

Regardless of the approach, I talk about what we do as work. Your part in this endeavour will be effortful and the work will be driven by you; the pace and direction will be determined by you. But I will be with you for every step and I will be supporting you to do this work. I hope reading this doesn鈥檛 put you off but in my experience, Maya Angelou鈥檚 words 鈥渘othing will work unless you do鈥� ring true.

Therapy and Coaching

I will be asking the right questions and expertly listening. I will be there with you when we look at the difficult stuff providing the therapeutic or coaching relationship you need. I will help you identify and change the detrimental patterns holding you back, suggesting tools and techniques, supporting you and guiding you on your journey.

Reach out, let's connect.

Before your first session we will have already spoken for between 15 and 30 minutes. Even in this short time you will have discovered things about me which may resonate with how other clients have described me. I am described as 鈥渨arm, kind, and genuine, a mixture of down-to-earth wisdom and insightful intelligence; and very helpful鈥�.

When you book your first session I send email with everything you need to know and do before we meet.

What to expect

We will have 75 minutes, a little longer than the usual hour.

It鈥檚 normal to begin your first session feeling a little nervous; it can feel weird and challenging to talk with a complete stranger about yourself and your life. I hope it helps to know, my clients tell me they begin to relax quite quickly once we get going.

Contracting 鈥� this is therapist speak for agreeing our understanding about the practicalities and boundaries we will follow. I send a copy for you to read in advance.

My questions and prompts 鈥� I will ask you to tell me about how you are doing at the moment and we will clarify together what you want our work to help you to change?

My thoughts about how we might work together 鈥� counselling, psychotherapy, therapeutic coaching, or coaching? We will talk about these approaches and decide together which path to take depending on your individual needs.

Check in - towards the end of our first session we will take some time to check in with your experience of talking with me and you can decide if you want to continue; it鈥檚 okay if you want to take some time to reflect before you decide too.
