Amidst an unusual family crisis, I sought Helen’s help to provide me with the tools to cope with how my anger was affecting those I love and me. This started an almost 2-year growing and learning period during which new ways of thinking through situations, and understanding my reactions to those situations were explained to me and gently “teased” from me. Helen sensitively applied her professional skills to our meetings where she could effortlessly detect if I was strong enough to bear being pushed or if I was feeling less robust at which times her gentleness prevailed. From time-to-time, Helen would share short and anonymous personal experiences which made our sessions clearer and more human. Now, I recognise I will always be a work-in-progress but have learnt how to manage myself differently, responding more calmly and in a much more helpful way to my loved ones and myself.

Working with Helen has been genuinely life changing. She helped me understand the root causes of my anxiety and guided me in learning how to respond in a healthier, more balanced way.

From our very first session, I felt completely comfortable with her, which made it so much easier to open up. She is kind, patient, calm and compassionate.

I would recommend Helen wholeheartedly to anyone. For anyone unsure about starting counselling, I’d encourage you to go for it – it has made such a positive difference for me, and I’m incredibly grateful for the progress I’ve been able to make with Helen’s brilliant help and support.

I have really appreciated your support, guidance and kindness over the last few months. My sincere gratitude to you for your time and very useful insights.

Helen helped me through a very difficult time following two close bereavements whilst having to cope with two family members and their long term addictions. Her insightful questions made me realise and release some long standing feelings in a safe, calm, non-judgmental and professional environment. I would highly recommend her

Helen listens with warmth and understanding and without fail helps me to unlock the doors to understanding myself better and to help me heal
