About me and my therapy practice
Hello, my name is Helen and I am an accredited person centred counsellor. I currently offer online or telephone counselling sessions to people who would like therapeutic counselling. I am approachable, holistic and will offer support to those who are experiencing psychological and emotional upset. As a BACP member, I am fully qualified, experienced and insured. I am also a qualified Reiki Master Practitioner and I have a nurturing nature to guide you through any difficulties you are experiencing within a healing space.
This process of allowing space for inner experience can enable you to strengthen trust in your own inner guidance and bring a new perspective. I believe that it is through self-understanding and recognition of our feelings, without judgement, that change can occur. Although this may at times be difficult, through understanding our inner world we can develop a more compassionate relationship with ourselves and therefore also with others.
Fees: Sessions are £45 per hour
I offer concessionary rates to students and trainee counsellors.
I am able to offer evening sessions.
What are the benefits of counselling?
If you have not experienced counselling before, it may be hard to imagine how it can help. So what are the benefits of counselling?
Having a safe space to explore thoughts or feelings that you find difficult to express.
Being truly listened to, without distraction, or worrying about taking up too much time.
Investing time in yourself, the ultimate form of self-care.
