You feel like you’ve spent your whole life meeting other people’s expectations. On the outside you hold it together, but inside you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or questioning who you really are beneath the mask. Maybe you’re processing a late autism or ADHD diagnosis, living with chronic illness, or carrying the weight of burnout and trauma. You want space to breathe, to grieve what’s been lost, and to rediscover parts of yourself that have felt hidden. Most of all, you want to feel understood without needing to explain yourself, and to start trusting your own needs again.

Hello, I’m Helen. I set up my practice to offer a space where every client would feel seen, understood and supported because life can be hard sometimes and having someone there just for you can often make a huge difference. Maybe you’re at personal or professional cross-roads, family or relationship issues are leaving you stressed out, or you’ve experienced a loss which has knocked you sideways. Whatever is going on for you this is a space where you can slow down, explore your thoughts and emotions, consider your choices and begin to move in the direction that's right for you.

I have over 6 years of experience helping adults and young people in crisis.
Sometimes, we reach a point in life where we find ourselves numb, anxious, easily upset or frustrated struggling to enjoy the life we have because of trauma, grief, depression or loss of Self. This can affect everything we hold dear: the relationships, the work, personal life, or feeling lost and lacking in self-esteem. It can be really hard to share our difficult feelings with someone or even to admit it to ourselves, and I appreciate and respect that. My aim is to help you find Your-Self, enjoy life again, recognise your personal potential and empowerment, so you can move towards having a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Most people aren’t broken. They’re just used to not being heard.
I work as a counsellor and psychotherapist from a person-centred perspective, grounded in a simple but often overlooked belief: people already hold the capacity to understand themselves, face what’s difficult, and change the direction of their lives.
In a culture obsessed with quick fixes and neat labels, I offer something different—a space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or be anything other than real. A space built on honesty, empathy, and acceptance.
I don’t position myself as the expert on your life.
You are.

We all experience losses in life – not just when someone dies but when we lose anything that is important to us: our relationships, our dreams of having a family, our health, our home, our job, our independence, our pets, and our hopes or expectations. Often, we are able to grieve for those losses and adjust but sometimes we are left feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, angry, guilty, ashamed, withdrawn, or numb for many months or even years later. Adjusting to losses in life is not about ‘getting over’ them but about finding ways to live a life that includes them.

People often reach out when something in their life feels heavy, confusing or quietly overwhelming. You don’t need to have a clear story to begin. I offer a calm, confidential space where you can slow down, speak honestly, and explore what feels out of step or painful. Much of what shapes us lives below the surface — old patterns, shame, grief, relationships, the body’s responses. Therapy is a place to bring these into conversation, gently and at your pace, so that new understanding and possibilities can begin to emerge.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in the UK hold various credentials depending on their training and regional requirements. Counsellors and Psychotherapists registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) receive the designation MBACP and their qualifications and practice are overseen by BACP. Many Psychologists registered with the British Psychological Society receive the title of Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol), signifying that they have completed postgraduate training and supervised practice. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
