Helen Hazell-English

I see clients Tuesday-Friday daytimes.  

I currently offer online appointments only.  From January 2025 I will also have in-person appointments available from my consultation room in Macclesfield.

Mum Therapy: Online Counselling for Mums and Mums to be.

Early motherhood is profoundly intense and triggering. I support you as a person in your own right, as you navigate this challenging chapter of your life. I help you untangle difficult thoughts and feelings, and work out what you need. You deserve to thrive, not just survive as you pour all your energy into other people.

I meet clients for regular 50min sessions via Zoom video calling.

Clients come to me for help with things like depression/low mood, anger, anxiety, not enjoying their children, relationship difficulties and burnout. I give warm, skilled support. This time in life is really hard. It also presents the opportunity for personal growth and healing - a chance to digest how we've lived so far, what we have internalised from our family and society, what serves us well and what may be holding us back.

I offer general adult counselling, so you can talk about anything you want to, not just parenting. All of your identities are welcome.  I am most interested in supporting clients through pregnancy (including baby loss) and motherhood because of the pressure on mums at that point in their lives.  It's a huge ongoing transition - learning as you go and working out how to live in the way that suits you.

With me you get a regular confidential opportunity to explore personal issues. My job is to help you through this process without judgement and without telling you what to do. All parts of you are welcome. You do not need to be on sparkling form or to entertain me. For once, it's all about you. For many clients this in itself is a great relief.

Nor do you need to be in crisis. If something doesn't feel right, counselling can help. If you'd like to try some therapeutic conversations with a warm, experienced professional, do get in touch.

I offer a free 15min introductory chat so you can see what it is like  to talk with me and ask any questions.

The next step is an initial consultation: 1hr to explore what is going on for you, your hopes for counselling and how I can help. 

My standard session fee applies (£70).
