Helen Loughran

Therapy is an invaluable way to work towards feeling happier and achieving lasting peace of mind.

I am an experienced therapist, used to working with people of all backgrounds. I work both in my own private practice and also with two counselling charities.

I provide a thoughtful, non-judgmental environment in which to reflect on what is troubling you and to work together to unravel the issues that may be presenting you with difficulties.  

I have particular experience in working with teachers and senior leaders in schools and also with people who are dealing with the impact of serious illness either themselves or in their family.

I have a consulting room in Hertford and also provide online and telephone counselling.

People describe me as being warm, friendly and calm.

My training with the Counselling Foundation in St Albans, is in psychodynamic psychotherapy. This means that as well as looking at what might be troubling you with aspects of your life now, we may also look back to earlier in your life to explore deeper causes of the emotions you are experiencing.

I offer an initial free 15 minute telephone consultation so we can briefly discuss what you're looking for in therapy and consider timings and cost. Please email me to arrange a phone call.  After we have spoken by phone, we can then arrange a first session.

In our first session we will discuss what is on your mind and gain an understanding of what it would be like to work together. We will be able to explore whether psychotherapy is best suited to your needs.
