Hi! I'm Helen and I'm so pleased to meet you. 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 fully 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.​

​

My journey to becoming a counsellor began after my own personal experiences led me to seeking a new direction in life. For me counselling feels like something I should always have been doing, I simply love it, and I am passionate and dedicated to offering high quality services to those who need them. 

I have gained experience of counselling a wide variety of issues including; addiction, abuse, trauma, anxiety, parenting issues, relationships, and understanding self. My background includes training in an established drug and alcohol recovery centre in Cumbria.​
