Helen Lavelle

I work with adults of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem and depression or are experiencing difficulties within their relationships.

Sometimes it can be a very specific issue that is creating emotional distress in your life. You may want to understand a troubling past experience, or change the quality of your relationships with family and friends. 

Whether you’re feeling anxious, depressed or stuck in your life I can help. I can offer you a  place where I can help you talk honestly about yourself without shame and to freely explore your emotions. You may be struggling with past trauma or addiction issues that are causing you to be anxious or fearful. 

You have already taken the first step by looking for a counsellor. I believe that we all have the ability to grow and experience a fulfilling life but that both the past and our present circumstances can prevent this. I can work with you at your pace to help you to face these challenges, and to heal from past difficulties while building new strategies to help you to better cope in your life.

I work with adults of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem and depression or are experiencing difficulties within their relationships. I am also experienced at working with addiction and currently volunteer at a local bereavement service.

I am a trained and registered Integrative therapist; trained in both person-centred and psychodynamic counselling. This means I  can use different approaches to work with you in a way that best suits you.

It can be scary seeking help so If you’re interested to work with me, we can arrange a time to talk at no cost and with no pressure to commit to further sessions. This will include a brief assessment where I can find out more about why you are seeking counselling and will be an opportunity for you to ask any questions. From then on, we will meet at the same time once a week for 50 minutes.
