She is a highly qualified Level 7 Integrative Counsellor, holding a PGDip (Integrative), a PGCert (Counselling), and full registration with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Couples Therapy

For couples facing relationship difficulties, Helen offers structured support to improve communication, rebuild trust, and resolve conflict. Her approach encourages mutual understanding and practical steps towards a healthier partnership.
