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 at times can feel stuck, not knowing what to do and can feel uncertain about the future. 

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 also understand it can feel daunting starting therapy and you may have many questions before you commit, so I provide a free 30-minute initial session via telephone or online. 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 ( GAD), social anxiety/phobia ( SAD) 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 approach is supportive and sensitive. That incorporates cognitive behavioural therapy ( CBT), solution-focused,  person-centred and psychodynamic therapy tailored to you. 

Depending on your needs we can meet on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.  We can either 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 below and I will get back to you so we can arrange an initial chat. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm wishes, 

Helen
