I offer evening sessions, online via Teams, on Mondays and Tuesdays only.

Welcome, I’m Helen, and I am an integrative counsellor. Perhaps you’re looking for counselling because you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck, or perhaps something has happened to bring you here. Here’s a bit about me so that you can decide whether I might be the right person to support you in finding a way forward.

I aim to develop a warm, encouraging and trusting relationship with my clients. A place where they can come along as their true selves and be accepted. I am not here to tell you about you – you are the expert on you! However, we will explore what it’s like being you, uncover your patterns of behaviour and thinking, and together consider what is going well and what might be done differently.

My core training is in Adlerian Counselling; this is an encouraging and positive approach, which draws on how we perceive ourselves and others in the world (and how that influences our behaviour). I may utilise some of its tools in my practice, but I also integrate a person-centred, psychodynamic and relational approach.

I offer short-term and long-term counselling, and my sessions are 1 hour in duration.

Please email me if you’d like to find out more and we can arrange to speak before making an appointment. 

I'm a qualified counsellor with a Certificate and Diploma in Adlerian Counselling (Levels 3 and 4) and am a registered member of Íø±¬ÃÅ.

I have undertaken specialist training in the field of bereavement with the charity Cruse and post-qualifying training (Level 5) in relational counselling, though I no longer work with couples. I have previously supported the parents of young people with SEN needs.

I work with a wide variety of people, but I only work with adults.

I have a personal interest in neurodivergence and LGBTQ+ issues and undertake regular continuing professional development to enhance my work. 

I understand that contacting a counsellor for the first time, someone you don’t know, can be daunting. Please email me and we can arrange to have a brief chat about what I do and offer and what you are looking for. If you then decide to book a session with me, I will send you my Counselling and Confidentiality Agreement and Privacy Policy which cover all aspects of my practice.
