TESTIMONIALS.

“I’ve visited and spoken with five different therapists in my life but, by far, Helen is the best. Her holistic approach to counselling is flexible, adaptive, and completely conscientious of your frame of mind. I feel Helen has given me the ability to have fun with myself, knowing that sometimes I am my own best company, whilst also providing a necessary challenge at times when I am in my own way.

Helen helped me overcome an extremely traumatic experience and situation. In the 7 months I’ve been working with her, she has seen me at my worst, celebrated my wins, and been an extremely useful person to have in my corner.

Helen’s use of unconventional techniques, including breathing exercises, art, and activity, helped me engage with therapy in a uniquely fulfilling way. If traditional therapy has left you feeling uncomfortable or unsettled, I highly recommend working with Helen as she offers a safe, supportive and professional environment that places you as her client at the centre.”

“Thank you so much for all you have done to build me back up to the confident, happy person I once was. I was an anxious mess in that first session, feeling things I could not even begin to express and yet you heard, not just what I said but, what I was feeling. Your validation allowed my inner self to finally feel comforted and safe enough to begin the healing process. If it wasn’t for you I would be carrying this trauma around allowing it to affect me at the worst times. I have close friends and family but their support was like a dressing to my wounds, your sessions were like medicine. It took just 1 session to feel “I am not alone I can do this”, 3 sessions to feel at peace with myself and my circumstances, and only 5 sessions to be confident in my decisions and ready to go live my best life. I’ve learned so much about life, new things after 40yrs that I wish I knew ages ago. You are amazing! Thank you. “

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).

“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.”

“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.”
