I strongly believe each person has the capacity within, to heal themselves and make positive changes within their lives. Whilst healing isn't always a straight line, be assured I will walk beside you, meeting you where you are, passionate to understand how you see the world and how life is for you.
I offer a very relaxed and cosy counselling environment, always placing you at the very centre of the therapy process. As your counsellor, I aim to provide you with the right environment, so you can begin to heal, grow and flourish. I will listen with empathy and acceptance and I won't judge you; you will be accepted just as you are. My approach is professional and boundaried, yet authentic, easygoing, warm, caring and flexible - this may be a surprise if you expect a counsellor who is formal, sat with a clipboard and closed off!
I currently work with Neurotypical and Neurodiverse (Autistic, ADHD, ADD, Dyspraxia and Dyscalculia) adults and children (11 yrs+), in both the traditional sense and creatively. Being Autistic/combined ADHD myself, Autism and ADHD, I would say, are my niche. I also have lots of experience supporting those who do not identify as neurodiverse, so if you’re drawn to me, please do get in touch.
There are a million & one reasons why people seek counselling. It would be my pleasure to work with any concerns you may be facing including, but certainly not limited to: Abortion, ADHD (pre/post assessment and self diagnosed), Anger, Anxiety, Autism (pre/post assessment and self diagnosed), Bereavement and Grief, Bullying, Change, Coercion, Connecting with buried emotions/feelings, Depression, Divorce, Empowering self, Exploring the reasons for your unhappiness, Feeling lost or stuck, Gaslighting, Growth, Low-Confidence/Self Worth, Loneliness, Loss, Low Mood, Narcissistic Behaviour, PTSD, Reconnecting with yourself, Relationships, Self-harm, Single-parenting, Stress, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma, Workplace Issues and Womens Issues ... or to simply be heard, valued and understood.
I offer both short and long term counselling, from only 1 session to a maximum of your choice. However, to remain ethical, I will inform you if I feel I am no longer helping you.
I appreciate how difficult the decision may be to start counselling; to pick up the phone, to send the email or knock on the door that first time; I've been there. So please see below for a full description of the sessions I offer and I hope you see something which speaks to you. If you would like to get in touch, I can assure you of a warm and prompt reply.
"Healing is rarely a straight path.
We'll walk together, until you are where you want to be" Helen.
Working from my non-clinical, garden counselling room at home in Wistaston, we can work together traditionally or creatively. You will be surrounded by beautiful views of the garden, which itself is scientifically proven to be beneficial for mental health, stress and anxiety.
