Hi, I'm Helen. I am a qualified Adult Integrative Counsellor with a background in music , I trained as a piano teacher and over many years noticed an increasing number of students experiencing mental health difficulties. That experience led me to retrain formally as a counsellor, and it remains at the heart of how I approach my work: with curiosity, patience, and a genuine belief in every person's capacity to find their own path to healing.

My practice offers a gentle, non-judgmental, confidential and safe space where you can unravel, and perhaps for the first time, acknowledge and process thoughts and feelings that have been difficult to explore. I can help with anxiety, despair, worthlessness, worries about the future, sadness, grief, feelings of inadequacy and feeling stuck. I have a particular interest in how the body holds and reacts to memories and emotions, and I use a range of insight, tools and techniques to help reduce the intensity of difficult physical and emotional responses.

I work with adults of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations and neurodivergent profiles. I hold my clients' needs central at all times, moving at your pace and tailoring my approach to your individual goals. I draw on humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural skills and techniques, and I firmly believe that everyone has the power within themselves to find a road to healing. It is a genuine privilege to travel that journey with you.
