Hi, I am Helen & I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist & Counsellor. I know that it takes a huge amount of courage to seek out counselling. I recognise that & will provide an authentic, non judgemental approach to exploring whatever it is you might bring to therapy. An integrated approach means I draw on a number of specific therapies that can treat each client in a variety of situations, rather than having a single approach. I believe the therapeutic relationship & trust are of key importance in therapy work & have a down to earth, but highly compassionate approach, often taking a trauma informed approach to counselling. 

I follow work done by BAATN Black, African & Asian Therapy Network, which is important to me professionally, ethically & personally.

I currently have availability on Mon, Thurs, Fri. 

About me and my therapy practice

I have 20 years experience working with adolescents and young adults on improving confidence and mood, and lowering anxiety & stress, including a diverse adult client base within a University environment. I also have diverse adult client base which operates from private rooms in a leafy part of  Sheffield. I include appropriate interventions, which are tailored to help clients make sense of what is at the heart of so much of their pain and to figure out challenges within their relationships both professionally and personally. 

I love doing this work. I believe that being trusted with other people's most private, inner thoughts and feelings is a privilege and teaches me a great deal in the process. Finding right fit for you, as a person is essential in the therapy process. I offer a free 15 minute chat to see how we might feel that we can work together and to hear a bit about you. I offer face to face sessions or online, if preferred.

Whilst I have worked with symptoms following trauma, I have also worked with more general emotional & behavioural issues which can get in the way of everyday life and leading the life you might want to lead. 

Not everyone knows exactly what they want from this process. That’s really common. - It can be something we work out together. I offer warmth and a safe space in which you can find your way to feeling less ‘stuck’ and more able to move forward in your life.

Practice description

My practice is run from private rooms in Sheffield with a small number of Therapists working in the building. It is quiet space over looking a peaceful park. In our sessions you can expect an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and on building trust, so that we can work collaboratively to find out the best way to support you.

I have experience working with people of all ages, experiencing difficulties around childhood & adult trauma, which can result in low mood, anxiety & anger. I work with a variety of self injuring behaviours. During our sessions we will work together to establish trust & real connection so that we can figure out & plan what it is that you need. Many clients often see real change within a few weeks. 

I have a Professional Diploma in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy, which is accredited by the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society.


My first session

I do not ask clients to fill out a formal assessment in the first session. However, I do invite clients to give some context in the first few sessions & assess a level of family history from here. This is done more moment to moment, than formally assessing clients.

An initial consultation call is offered free of charge. I ask that a decision is made within in 48 hours, so that I can update my appointments & work through any waiting list I may have. I charge full rate for the first session, ongoing.
