Welcome my name is Helen,

I am an integrative therapist and coach with many years of experience supporting people to overcome life's obstacles and difficulties.

I understand the enormous amount of courage it takes to reach out and start counselling especially when you are experiencing a challenging time,  although, you don't have to be in a crisis to benefit from therapy but it's ok if you are. 

People can come for therapy for a variety of reasons.

We all can feel stuck sometimes and uncertain about the future, not knowing what to do. 

Sometimes we just need a safe space to talk, think and reflect to process what is happening in our lives. In the acknowledgement that we will be heard, understood and not judged.

I understand it can feel daunting starting therapy and you may have many questions before you commit, so I provide an introductory telephone call.  It's a chance for you to ask any questions you may have about starting counselling with me to ensure I am the right fit for you. 

I specialise in working with people experiencing anxiety: worry, fear, feelings of dread, and stress including work-related, distressing thoughts. General anxiety disorders, social anxiety/phobia panic attacks, overthinking, lack of confidence, feeling not enough, perfectionism and self-sabotage.

Depression, low self-esteem,  hopelessness, guilt, low mood, lack of motivation,  sleep difficulties, self-critical thoughts and behaviours.

As well as relationship difficulties,  life changes and struggles with moving into a different phase of your life.

My therapeutic style is supportive and sensitive.  That incorporates cognitive behavioural therapy ( CBT), solution-focused, person-centred, and psychodynamic tailored to your needs.

My approach is to connect and work collaboratively.

Depending on your needs we can meet weekly, fortnightly or monthly.  We can talk online or over the telephone at my practice in south London.

Although I am a London-based therapist my clients come to me from across the UK – and indeed the world! – as most of my sessions are conducted on the phone or online. 

To get started, email me on the link and I will get back to you so we can arrange an initial chat. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm wishes, 

Helen
