About me

Hi, I'm Helen. I offer counselling and psychotherapy to individuals and couples and have been working in private practice since 2022. I have completed four years of specialist psychotherapy training in Transactional Analysis and am currently working towards qualification as a UK psychotherapist. I am a member of UKATA, EATA and ITAA and am committed to working within their ethical frameworks and to continually developing my practice.

I believe that the power of therapy lives in the relationship between therapist and client. I offer a warm, safe and non-judgemental space where you can bring all parts of yourself, take a breath, and explore what is happening for you at a deeper level.

My approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing particularly on Transactional Analysis and relational approaches. We shape your therapy together. We decide together what we explore, the pace we work at and the goals we set. Rather than focusing simply on what is “wrong”, we can explore the patterns, relationships and experiences that have shaped you, while recognising your strengths and inner resilience.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent 15 years working in live events and production, following earlier roles in advertising and hospitality. Working with people from many different backgrounds has taught me to be curious, resourceful, creative and comfortable navigating complexity.

I believe therapy can help us see ourselves and our lives with fresh eyes, creating greater freedom, choice and possibility.
