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.

People that I work with are often thinking about the big questions. What is the purpose in my life? Where do I find meaning? How do I want my life to be?

I enjoy working with young people, and people who are looking to make changes in how they approach their life.
