Welcome, my name is Helen and I am an Integrative Relationship Therapist, Couples Counsellor and Family Counsellor. Times of stress and uncertainty can compromise our emotional health. I provide a space where we can safely explore both our thinking and feelings, as well as look at ways of changing past repetitive patterns of behaviour that are no longer providing the outcomes we want. My aim is to be compassionate, empathetic and non-judgemental while offering a different perspective where necessary. Using this approach I strive to enable my clients to feel relaxed and safe in exploring any issues they wish to discuss.
I am currently working as a certified Relationship Therapist and Family Counsellor (MBACP) with Relate National and in Private Practice. I continually educate myself in matters of gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity, as well as being committed to addressing prejudice and inequality so my practice can be an inclusive space to a diverse clientele.
Talking about issues that are extremely personal with somebody you don’t know can be quite intimidating and often prevents people from seeking help. To encourage you to take that initial step I offer a complimentary meeting (up to 30 minutes) by phone or zoom so we can meet each other and I can answer any questions you may have before deciding to continue.
