Are you feeling stressed? Anxious? Suffering the loss of a loved one? Going through a rough patch? I can offer you a safe, confidential environment to explore your problems. You can be assured of being heard with understanding and without feeling judged. As an integrative counsellor, I have a wide variety of theories and styles to draw on to suit the needs of the individual. I offer counselling to adults, young people and children in my counselling room in a small village near Tewkesbury. Counselling is opportunity for you to talk through and try to understand what is going on for you in your life and to explore a way forward.

Being heard and understood is always important whether problems are sudden onset, temporary or long-standing. I believe though that there are times when you need a therapist to do more than just listen. Everyone at times needs some calm and wise guidance, some support. Sometimes its motivation we need, sometimes someone who truly understands and cares and other times we need someone with the strength to be challenging. First I will assess what you need and then we will work together to achieve your aims.

I understand that sometimes life feels too difficult . You might be having some trouble in a relationship, feel unhappy or stressed at work, or perhaps something from your past is affecting your life today. Whatever it is, I provide a safe, warm place in which you can talk things through with me in confidence and where you will be listened to with compassion, understanding and without judgement. I believe in the power of relationship: building a relationship with you where trust and acceptance facilitate open communication about the things that are troubling you. I offer face to face, video, online (IM) and telephone counselling.

Do you struggle to communicate with your partner. One or both of you end up getting angry and issues don't get resolved. Has one of you has had an affair? You may have erection problems, difficulty orgasming, painful penetration or lack or no desire for sex. Have you found yourself or your partner using more and more pornography or behaving sexually in a way that isn't acceptable or is out of control. You want to creat a better relationship. You want to recover from the pain of betrayal.

I enjoy helping you discover the key to why you are suffering with anxiety, OCD or depression. I can help you feel better and will give you hope, love and acceptance. I understand struggling with anxiety can be overwhelming, particularly if you are experiencing panic attacks. It can literally feel like you are going to die. You are not going to die or going mad. Anxiety is simply your body's way of letting you know things are not quite right. Anxiety creates fear, which triggers the 'flight or fight' response. We can also become locked in a vicious circle of being afraid of the fear.

You might be struggling at this time and would like more support. Our sessions can give you the space to talk and explore what you're experiencing in a confidential setting. Help you find healthy coping strategies that work for you and develop long term ways of looking after your mental health. Clients feedback - “I always left our sessions feeling like a small weight had been lifted. Helen made me feel comfortable and listened to." “Really useful and consistently helpful – would highly recommend.”

I’ve worked with many children and young people with caring parents like you. Are you unable to sleep at night for worrying about your child? Do you feel helpless and confused about why your child is depressed, anxious, uncommunicative, self-harming or having suicidal thoughts?

Hello There, Would speaking with someone who places your mental health and well-being at the heart of counselling be of help? Are you feeling overwhelmed, sad, confused and unsure where to turn? Please know these feelings and emotions are very real, its often the bodies reaction to difficult or unexpected traumatic events and situations and you are most definitely not alone in experiencing these. But, it is possible, with help, to manage those thoughts and feelings, together we can explore the emotions that keep rising to the surface. You can be supported whilst you consider past or present experiences and look at future changes.

I enjoy working with clients who are feeling they have lost "their selves", and love helping them rediscover who they are or who they would like to become. Sometimes this presents as depression or anxiety, or confusion about them and their place in their world. Sometimes this is because of past experiences, families or questions about race, gender, sexuality or spirituality.

If you are experiencing difficulties or unease in your personal or working life, this can impact on your ability to function with day to day living. You may have been carrying concerns alone for some time and not want to overburden family and friends with how you feel. Unexpected life changing events can cause shock and trauma which is hard to adjust to. Sometimes there is a more gradual build up of stress, anxiety, depression or burnout which then needs attention and new strategies to manage well. Times of transition can be an opportunity to take stock, build resilience and focus on wellbeing and a sense of yourself as a 'whole'.

Have you been feeling down? Lost? Stressed? Having panic attacks? Questioning what is ‘wrong’ with you? Potentially your feelings are being heightened inour current unprecedented times. It is not always possible to turn to family or friends for support, where sometimes our difficulties involve these very people. I work with adults on a one to one basis, offering short-term counselling to long-term psychotherapeutic work. Counselling tends to be a shorter-term process, focused on problem-solving around a specific issue. Psychotherapeutic work is a longer-term process, similar to separating out the ingredients of a soup.

There are times in life when feelings such as anxiety and stress can become overwhelming. They can leave you feeling lost; not knowing where to turn for help and support. You can feel this way about yourself, yourself as a parent or for your child. As a Clinical Psychologist I can support you to better understand what is going on and why this is happening; to put these difficulties into a context beyond using labels such as anxiety and depression.
