Person Centered Counselling based in Carlisle, Cumbria
Your journey, your pace, your way
Meet Helen
Hi! I'm Helen and I'm so pleased to meet you. This way together, counselling with Helen Ivison is a new counselling service based in Cumbria.
I am a dedicated counsellor with a passion for helping individuals achieve emotional well-being. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients, allowing them to explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. With a person-centered approach, I focus on the unique needs of each individual, promoting self-discovery and personal growth.
I am fully trained and hold a BSc Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am professionally insured and I’m a member of the BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This means I follow their professional standards and ethical guidelines, and I’m committed to ongoing learning and development. For you, it means you can feel reassured that I’m working safely, professionally, and always with your best interests at heart.

People seek counselling for many different reasons. Sometimes it’s to find support during a difficult time, to make sense of overwhelming feelings, or to cope with changes and challenges in life. Others come to explore patterns, build self-understanding, or create healthier relationships. Whatever brings you here, counselling offers a safe, supportive space to talk, reflect, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
Engaging in counselling is a step toward change, requiring dedication to yourself, your time, and your wellbeing.
Everyone's reasons for seeking counselling are different and I aim to support each client individually on their journey. It is important that we both feel we can work together and towards you're goals.
To support this I offer a free initial 30 minute online consultation where we can chat and see if we are a fit.
Everyone's counselling journey is different. Together we can decide if your journey is a time limited one, or something more open-ended, whatever suits you best.
At the moment I offer in person, 50 minute sessions, based in my Carlisle studio, or online sessions. For Local businesses seeking counselling support for their employees I am able to travel to you, if you have a suitable room onsite for sessions. I currently only offer sessions to those over 18yrs.
