Person-Centred Counselling based in Carlisle, Cumbria
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


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 offer sessions to those over 16yrs.
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.
