Counselling in R35

I am committed to offering each client a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment, allowing you to explore your situation, thoughts and feelings. I intend to welcome and encourage you to allow time dedicated to just you; time to talk, clarify and process all that you need to. I will offer you the space and support to help you find insight, understanding and acceptance of your current emotions around life issues; space to clarify what you need and to nurture your sense of empowerment to progression towards finding new ways of coping, personal growth and to enjoying a fulfilling life.

Change is Possible, Let us Empower you .We collaborate with you to explore thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviours that affect your life negatively. Through counselling and psychotherapy you are given the support and safety to explore,understand and, often, to change these thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviours. The personal growth that can then take place can free you from the limitations of old patterns. This can allow more realistic and effective ways of improving the quality, contentment and satisfaction of your life to emerge. You can benefit from counselling and psychotherapy at any stage in your life.

My own personal challenges of life and loss directed me into my own personal growth and ultimately allowed me the insight and motivation to become a Counsellor. My own life experience continually allows me a unique and in-depth understanding when working with clients. I have years of experience working with clients helping them in their healing journey, breaking old patterns, eliminating old limiting beliefs which no longer serve them and working to move their lives to the next level. I am passionate about the work and I continue to integrate the work into my own life. I believe your Biography does not create your destiny.

Hi, I’m Helen, and I am a qualified Counsellor/Psychotherapist. I work in a person centred and integrative way. This means I will assist you in realising what resources and tools you may use to support yourself as you work through your issues. I engage a number of different therapeutic approaches. I understand that each person is the expert of their own lives, as no one knows what it is like to be you and adapt each session to meet the needs of the individual and what works for them.

My approach to psychotherapy is Integrative which means that I use a range of therapeutic techniques as treatment depending upon the client and the difficulty that person is experiencing. I view each individual as a unique being with endless potential and I believe that under the appropriate conditions everyone has the ability to self-actualize.

As a Counsellor Psychotherapist I employ a Humanistic approach to counselling. I encourage self-awareness and self-realisation in an individual. I believe people have within themselves all the resources they need to lead healthy and fulfilled lives. As a counsellor I see myself helping clients to discover and access within themselves the restricted resources they need to solve problems. Helping the client safely find their way to the solution. I believe in the best interests of the client at all times and treat everyone with dignity and respect in a non-judgemental authentic approach.

A fully qualified, accredited and experienced psychotherapist, I have experience in working with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem, bereavement, grief, loss, depression, abuse, trauma, sexuality, emotional crisis and personal growth. There are times in our lives where we can find ourselves feeling stuck, anxious, stressed, confused, saddened or overwhelmed. Our thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours may be impacting negatively on our ability to live a fulfilled life. Having a safe space to talk about issues that are troubling you can be helpful, and in time, facilitate change.
