Hello there!
There is no shame in asking for help. You don’t have to do this alone.
Counselling doesn’t have to be scary.
In fact, I make sure it feels sacred. I hold space for those who work with me to feel seen and heard.
Together we explore the thoughts and feelings behind everyday challenges of childlessness and grief. I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, meeting you where you are. No matter how strong your feelings are, I am here to assist you in processing them, so you can move forward in your life.
It is such a relief when you know you are not on your own.
Life simply feels easier.
There is hope again.
I have worked with therapists before and it is so very hard to find the right person. When I first met Helen I wasn’t sure what to expect. Honestly, from the moment I sat down I was made to feel at ease. Helen is always a calming and reassuring influence on me and very patient with me. Since our sessions began I have almost looked forward to our weekly sessions, I can express myself verbally and through art and always feel safe to do so. I highly recommend her services and plan to continue myself. Elizabeth
Why Work with Me and the Arts
I have worked with people for more than 20 years; as an arts teacher and then I moved into counselling.
The therapeutic arts have been part of my life for even longer. After 3 decades of experience, I have seen how powerful they are to move people through grief, loss, anxiety and overwhelm to a place of clarity, calm, empowerment and grounding.
This is especially helpful when working with people who cannot put their feelings into words. Art and being playful gives you access to imaginative ways to express your feelings and communicate your needs.
NOTE: There is no need to be good at art.
