Hi, I’m Helena (HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist). I recognise the importance of learning about your therapist’s experience, expertise and therapeutic style – so don’t hesitate to email your questions or request an introductory telephone consultation. My approach involves collaboration, compassion and understanding your unique lived experience. I provide evidence-based interventions aimed at driving meaningful personal growth. I support people experiencing various challenges including anxiety, trauma, loss/grief and low mood. I also specialise in providing support following acute illness and in adjustment to chronic illness.
In my NHS role, I work across long COVID and burn-injury psychology services. This involves trauma-focused therapy / addressing PTSD, reflecting on adjustment to illness, exploration of self-identity / illness-identity, and addressing any of the following: low mood, anxiety, grief and loss, self-criticism / low self-esteem, and appearance-related distress.
The difficulties life throws our way can be highly complex and overwhelming, but you don’t have to struggle alone. I’m here to listen and support, helping you to identify and work through sources of distress. To discuss therapy options further, please don’t hesitate to reach out by email and arrange a free 20-minute telephone consultation.
