I currently have limited availability Monday -Thursday evenings.

I will be taking a few days off in December.

Hi, I'm Helen and I am a humanistic counsellor, which means that I meet you where you are. Whether you are struggling with the overwhelm of life, have suffered a bereavement or whether you just aren't quite sure what is going on for you but would like to explore, I offer a safe, supportive space for you to navigate through your challenges using a blend of approaches tailored to suit you as an individual.

I have experience working with a broad range of mental health issues and bring a depth to my practice developed through study and lived experience.

Our therapeutic relationship is paramount so to aid this I offer a free 20 minute, no obligation consultation call, so you can get a feel of whether we would be the right fit to work together.

I began my counselling journey after my own experience of sudden loss, which lead to much self-development and understanding of what the therapeutic process is like from the client-perspective. This gave me valuable insight into what I would offer as a counsellor and what I would avoid, as well as crucial lived experience of mental health presentations. 

My clients find that my relaxed, down-to-earth approach helps them to feel comfortable, and for the sessions to feel more 'real' and human-to-human. 

I would describe my style as warm, connected and collaborative.

Before our first counselling session I offer a free, up-to-20 minute, no obligation consultation call. This is so you can get a feel of who I am, ask any questions you may have, and it gives us the opportunity to see whether we are a good fit. 

When you book the consultation call you will receive an email with my contract which details important information that you may need before the session, i.e confidentiality, boundaries, payment information etc. so that, should you have any questions about it, you can ask them during the call.

If you decide you would like to work with me, you can book your first appointment and you will receive a clinical assessment for you to complete, as well as an additional information request before your first session. This is to give me an idea of how you have been feeling recently, as well as important personal information e.g. emergency contact, GP details, address etc.
