Helen is very professional, dedicated and committed. She has a warm, easy approach. She is very quick to reply to messages. We have worked well together, over a long period of time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for support with anxiety and stabilization work.

My 27 years’ experience working as a Psychotherapist has given me fascinating insights into people of all ages and their intricacies and gifts. I am an integrative psychotherapist with a foundation in child development, counselling, and theoretical approaches that draw upon symbolic and holistic elements for deepening self-understanding and healing. I have many years of working with people with typical and neurodiversity. I was a counsellor for the NHS for a number of years and I have my own supervisory practice working with students and professionals.
You will have opportunities to explore and express yourself using methods that suit you best. You may wish to work with me online with video discussion, chat with no visual or audio, only audio, or email. There is scope to incorporate creative arts and artistic self-expression if you wish. Therapy is a chance to deepen self-understanding emotionally and psychologically benefiting personal growth and change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Helen is very professional, dedicated and committed. She has a warm, easy approach. She is very quick to reply to messages. We have worked well together, over a long period of time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for support with anxiety and stabilization work.
Helen has a really calming manner, she is attentive and allows me space to tell my story, she is always kind and understanding.
Helen is accepting of me as a person who doubts herself, I feel affirmed, listened to and understood - given that most of my life I have felt, at times, musundersood and confused. She offers a safe space to explore lifes' challenges.
Helen is a very calm person which I find grounding. She is always respectful and I never feel judged at all. More than once she has taken it upon herself to research something relevant to me and then shared that information so I can better support myself. She clearly shows empathy in het responses to me.
