Welcome

Hello, I'm Helen.

I'm a Counselling Psychologist with over 15 years of experience supporting people going through many kinds of emotional challenges.

I work with a wide range of people, often thinking about the big questions. Who am I? What is the purpose and meaning in my life? How do I want my life to be?

I seem to work most successfully with young people, or people who are looking to make changes in how they approach their life.
