I found Helen through an online therapist website when I was looking for someone who could help me work through some personal family issues. At the time, I honestly didn’t think anyone could help me, or even whether I would ever be able to come to terms with what I was dealing with.

I had an online introductory meeting with Helen, and we immediately seemed to connect. Fast forward six months, and I genuinely can’t believe how much things have changed. I feel so much better within myself and have become far more able to cope with the issues that once felt overwhelming.

Having never needed or used a therapist before, I wasn’t really sure what to expect or how the process would work. But Helen’s support, understanding and guidance have made such a huge difference to me. I’m now in a much more positive place and feel able to handle situations that previously would have been incredibly difficult for me.

I wouldn’t say I’m completely “fixed” — and I’ve learned that perhaps that isn’t really the point. What I do have now are the tools and understanding to help me manage things in a much healthier way and continue moving forward.

I honestly cannot thank Helen enough for everything she has done for me. Her support, patience and understanding have meant more to me than I can put into words, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who feels they may need some help.

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
