My Approach

I am Helen, I have a breadth of experience working within counselling and the wellbeing industry, working with clients to understand their own minds and emotions. I offer a safe and confidential space in the heart of Bury St Edmunds where we can explore your life and aspects with which you may struggle. I work with many issues, understanding that each and everyone of us is unique and has their own individual story and methods of coping, or not coping. 

I work with great empathy and honestly building trust and care in the working relationship to create a place for change and growth.

I have a BSc Hons degree in integrative counselling and am a registered member of the BACP and an accredited member of the UKCP, aside to this I have studied yoga and the polyvagal theory at length offering an understanding and awareness of the nervous system which layers in with psychotherapeutic theory and understanding to help define a deeper level of self-awareness within oneself. 

About Me

I am calm, friendly and grounded. I come from a combined background of yoga teaching and working with secondary school children with behavioral issues, moving into counselling as a result of these experiences and my own life experiences.
