What Clients Say

"Talking to Helen is like having a conversation with a friend. She puts you at ease instantly and is very relatable being a parent herself. I have been really impressed with her breadth of knowledge which she skilfully dips into to handle the variety of phases of anxiety I have faced. She is well connected to other healthcare professionals should you need her help with onwards referrals and works flexibly with a variety of times to suit. Helen has helped me accept and digest birth trauma, miscarriage, conception planning and more, with helpful and practical nuggets of advice. I truly feel Helen is on my side as we work towards a birth plan with my second child!"

"I approached Helen as I needed help with feelings of anxiety I was having. She is very patient, non-judgemental and made me not only feel at ease but like she really understood. She has helped me massively and I would not hesitate to recommend her."
― Bianca ―
"With any therapy there is a stigma and I was extremely nervous going to my first session. Helen was recommended by a friend and immediately put me at ease, allaying my fears with a full overview of how the sessions could work for me. I was able to talk with ease to Helen in all my sessions and immediately felt that I was in a safe and secure environment. Helen also provided supporting documentation and information which was also very useful."
