Hello I'm Helen, an integrative counsellor and trained mindfulness teacher with a variety of work and life experience.

I have worked and volunteered for charities supporting people affected by grief and loss, cancer and life-limiting illness.

I have a special interest in helping people who are experiencing bereavement as well as loss in other areas of life. I also have a breadth of experience supporting clients with many other presenting issues.

Bereavement can lead to a kind of mental and emotional time travel. Perhaps you feel pulled towards a past that is out of your control and holds lots of ‘what ifs’ and regrets. You may also feel dragged towards a future that hasn’t happened yet and is unknown, unplanned and frightening.

You might be worried that your grief is too much for your loved ones to handle, so you tend to keep it to yourself. Or maybe you feel bad about the strength of your feelings and tell yourself that ‘others have it worse’, therefore minimising or trivialising your own grief.

With a breadth of experience, including counselling for bereavement, and holding dual qualifications in therapeutic counselling and mindfulness, I can help you to feel safe, contained and supported, and therefore able to share and explore your grief without feeling the need to edit your thoughts and feelings.

All your ways to cope are in the here and now. Working with me can help you become more mindfully aware, and able to remain safely present more often. You will learn to be less overwhelmingly hooked into the past or the future and feel more emotionally regulated. This can enable you to build resilience over time, helping you to face your loss without losing yourself in what has happened.

Whether it’s grief and loss, or navigating life’s other obstacles, by working with me you can learn to give yourself permission to talk freely and focus on yourself, validate and understand your feelings, and explore ways to cope.

I draw upon a variety of approaches to create a therapeutic experience aimed at meeting your individual needs.

My approach is from a humanistic and person-centred foundation, using transactional analysis and elements of CBT, ACT, mindfulness and polyvagal theory.

As a client, you decide how your sessions will proceed. Working at your own pace and in your own way, we will also explore ways you can resource and support yourself as you move forward.

I work face-to-face or online from a therapy room in the centre of Macclesfield.

You are welcome to contact me to arrange an initial, free, no- obligations telephone call and we can decide whether we are a match to work together.

I believe that everyone can benefit from being truly seen and heard with empathy and non-judgement. Finding the right counsellor for you can provide a safe way to share, explore, and restore.

My approach is not to try to ‘fix’ you or tell you what to do, but instead to help you accept and understand yourself, while supporting you in finding your own truths and facilitating any growth that you choose to undertake.

Whether it's grief and loss or navigating life’s other obstacles, by working with me you can learn to give yourself permission to talk freely and focus on yourself, validate and understand your feelings, and explore ways to cope. I will help you to explore different perspectives, choices and ways of being.
