Hello and Welcome!
My name is Helen and I am person centred counsellor (talking therapy). Throughout my life, I have been passionate about supporting others in various capacities. I initially worked in education for over 10 years, working with adults and children, but I have worked in mental health as a counsellor now for over 5 years. 

My main focus as a counsellor is you, the client. I provide a safe, relaxed and nurturing space where you can share experiences, that are causing emotional distress, in complete confidence.

I understand taking the first step to counselling can be extremely daunting, as it can stir up feelings of vulnerability, shame, guilt or anxiety, but you are definitely not alone. I truly believe in the power of talking, in confidence, to help alleviate life's difficulties. We are all human and life can be challenging in so many different ways. Talking, without feeling judged or afraid to say the wrong thing in case we upset someone, can be extremely empowering and freeing. Only you know what path you would like to take to feel fulfilled and content. I will help you find that path!
