One of Helen’s top priorities is providing a safe and relaxed counselling environment, that enables her clients to feel at ease when sharing their challenges. Helen is an exceptional listener, and through collaborative exploration of the client’s past and present experiences, she aims to bring fresh clarity and awareness, encouraging her clients to explore different perspectives and set new goals. Helen uses a client-centred, intergrative approach, with a deep understanding of the effects of trauma on a person’s life.
Helen works with her clients to discover their hidden strengths and values, empowering them to move forward with increased self-awareness and self-respect. At other times, the need to just hold space for intense emotions such as grief and trauma, is something Helen understands and will respectfully give time to.
When life circumstances become overwhelming, withdrawel is often the response. This is normal. However it can cause you to remain isolated and lost. Can I encourage you to reach out and call me, and together we can find a way back.

Seeing anxiety & panic attacks through the lens of Poly Vagal Theory, gives clients a language to what is happening within their body & reassurance they're not going crazy. Initial sessions involve understanding how life events shape our nervous systems. We then work together on various exercises that increase awareness of autonomic states, improve self regulation and enhance wellbeing.

I base my sessions on the principles of Poly Vagal Theory - the 'science of safety'. However within this framework I utilise a number of modalities such as Positive Psychology, CBT and Solution Focussed Therapy. Once a client understands their nervous system and is able to read and map it, other therapies make more sense and the client is better equipped in managing their issues.
