Helen Wright

Hello, my name is Helen and I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor which means that I have many therapeutic evidence-based modalities that I can use to tailor treatment to the needs of the individual seeking support.  I am also a clinical supervisor so I supervise other counsellors and also other professional people in their specific areas of work. 

I believe in the autonomy of the individual and that we all strive to get our needs met. Sometimes we can be at odds with our true authentic selves. I can help people to make sense of their past and move forward by looking at family scripts, learned behaviour, attachment issues, and feelings of abandonment when younger which might be playing out in new relationships, and the list goes on.

I am a systemic family practitioner and child and young person counsellor and am the Anger Management lead at the organisation where I work. All behaviour is explainable - when people understand why they are behaving in a certain way then they can look at making changes, if this is what needs to be done, or not if this is a better option. Doing nothing is a choice - sometimes it can be hard to make changes even if people want to.

I tend to use goal-based outcomes so that the individual states what they need to achieve from therapy, that way everyone knows what is expected. Ultimately my work with people is person-centered so the choice is yours - I am not the expert, you are!

We are human beings, we cannot learn about ourselves in a room by ourselves, we need the company of others. 

We are all a work in progress, non of us are fixed!

I can offer single-session therapy (up to three hours) or one-at-a-time therapy when required, depending on the needs of the individual. 

I work in person, online, or over the telephone and I can look at a free half-hour session, if required, to assess compatibility but it's not always necessary. When doing single-session therapy this will will be built into the price.
