Your journey, your pace, your way
Welcome!
Hi! I'm Helen and It's a privilege to be on this journey with you.
​
This way together, counselling with Helen Ivison is a counselling service based in Carlisle, Cumbria. I offer in person sessions, online sessions, and personalised business solutions across cumbria and the uk.
​
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-centred approach, I focus on the unique needs of each individual, promoting self-discovery and personal growth.
​
I offer counselling support for a range of issues including:
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Bereavement
-
Trauma
-
Relationship difficulties
-
Stress
-
Life changes
​
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.
​
Everyone seeks counselling for their own personal 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.
​
I offer in-person, 50-minute sessions, based in my Carlisle studio, or 50-minute online sessions.
​
For businesses seeking counselling support for employees I offer tailored packages to suite your needs.
I currently only offer sessions to those over 18yrs.

​
What to expect from counselling
​
I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about whatever is troubling you.
Person-centred counselling focuses on understanding your unique experience and supporting you to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
​
Counselling can help you develop greater self-understanding, process difficult emotions, and find ways to move forward that feel right for you.

I offer counselling in Carlisle and online across the UK.
