CLARITY
& RELIEF
AWAITS
Step into a sanctuary where thoughts can become clearer, pain can be released, and burdens lightened. Using a trauma-informed and creative approach, you and I can walk together to help you find the path from darkness to light, suffering into growth, and anxiety into peace.
Based in Douglas & Port Erin, Isle of Man, and online.
AM I THE RIGHT THERAPIST FOR YOU?
I support individuals across all ages and walks of life, facing diverse challenges. I work with adults, and children and young people suffering with:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Trauma & abuse
- Identity issues
- Low self-esteem
- Relationship issues
- Work challenges
- Bereavement
Please note: I am currently unable to work with couples or offer relationship therapy.
WHAT HAPPENS IN SESSIONS?
I integrate talk therapy with trauma-informed creative and somatic interventions, psychoeducation, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioural techniques. The therapeutic relationship is a collaborative one; consequently, sessions will always be centred around your needs, interests, and preferences.
A SAFE PLACE TO TALK
You can talk about your feelings in a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental and caring space. Our sessions are a time for you to allow yourself to feel and express whatever you need to without judgment.
CREATIVE TOOLS
We can incorporate creative methods like the use of sand trays, music, art, and movement in our therapy sessions. These approaches can offer new pathways to healing, and provide you with insight into your subconscious world.
MIND & BODY TOOLS
We can also use mindfulness exercises and breathing practices to enhance your mind-body connection and help you to regulate your nervous system.
PSYCHOEDUCATION
Through psychoeducation, you will gain a deeper understanding of your experiences, leading to a more fulfilling life and better relationships.

TESTIMONIALS.
I have worked with Helen for 6 months and she is so nice and kind! She makes me feel so safe and helps me to see that I’m not a bad person even though sometimes my head tells me I am. I’ve been able to tell her things I’ve never told anyone and never feel judged. Sessions are always interesting because she always there to offer ideas for how we use our appointments if I get stuck so there are no awkward silences (which I find really uncomfortable).
Female client (Age group:14-17)“I came to Helen when I was experiencing severe panic attacks and my life was falling apart. I was in a desperate and frightening place, and believed that I was fundamentally broken. Through our sessions together, Helen helped me to learn about ways to manage my anxiety, and helped me to understand the root cause of my problems. I loved working with Helen because she is so kind and caring, and I never felt judged even when I told her about some of the things I had been too ashamed to tell anyone. I loved her use of creative interventions and she was always there to help me when I felt stuck. I am now working again and no longer suffer from panic attacks. Thank you so much for your help – you have changed my life.”
Female client (Age group: 25-35)“I contacted Helen when my relationship was falling apart. I didn’t have anyone I felt able to talk to. I’ve never been much of a talker or found it very easy to express my feelings. When I first came to therapy, I felt ashamed, because I felt weak and pathetic that I couldn’t handle the situation by myself. Seeing Helen has really helped me to recognise how my childhood has impacted my adulthood, and I’ve been able to let go of a lot of pain that I didn’t even know was holding me back. My mood has improved and my relationship is stronger than ever.”
Male client (Age group: 45-55)
