Are you tired of feeling stuck, sad, depressed, or overwhelmed by feelings of low self esteem, trauma and anxiety? Maybe life has thrown an unexpected event at you leaving you unsure how to move forward, tearful, scared or angry? If so you are not alone, nor do you have to cope alone. As a counsellor who cares I can help you move forward as gently and quickly as possible. As one of my clients with complex trauma said 'it wasn’t until working with Helen, that I felt my triggers were finally abated. For the first time time in years I feel calmer, lighter, more solid and grounded in myself. I am so deeply grateful'.

If we think together about significant relationships and events we can usually together come to an understanding that will help clarify why events have thrown you off balance. We may discover what is blocking your joy and energy. Self awareness can deepen and self compassion grow.
