Anxiety

When someone's daily life becomes bogged down by a personal difficulty, they often cannot find a way through it for themselves, so they can suffer from distressing feelings of insecurity, distress

I am a fully qualified Human Givens psychotherapist.

I am in private practice from my home in Nottingham. 

“I wasn’t sure what was going to happen today, it turned out you helped unblock something quite major. Thank you for noticing my struggle with PTSD” 

My passion is embodiment and healing the effects of trauma.

I see clients at my home in Norwich - there is parking available as well as a good local bus service.

Helen has a special interest in working with adolescents and young people who are struggling with anxiety and depression. 

I run face-to-face sessions in Yorkshire including in Leeds, York, Hull and Bridlington. I run online sessions wherever you are in the world. 

I have a deep understanding about mental health and wellbeing, and experience of working with people in tnany different situations in their lives. Clients feed back that I am calm, warm and approachable - that they feel accepted and comfortable being themselves. The approach aims to help people to overcome problems that might at first feel overwhelming, breaking down complex issues into practical, manageable steps. My goal is to build hope, motivation and a clear focus to achieve the positive changes that matter to you. 

I trained and worked as a medical doctor in the NHS for over the past 23 years, specialising as a GP.  I was also an academic researcher and Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen where I taught mental health to senior medical students. I have extensive and varied experience of working with a wide range of mental health problems in a variety of settings within the NHS including general practice, accident and emergency departments, and in psychiatric departments. I have experience of mild psychological distress to severe debilitating mental health crises. I am now trained and currently working as a psychotherapist

I offer effective, solution-focused talk therapy focusing on what you need to live an emotionally healthy and fulfilling life.

I  am a practising counsellor in Human Givens Therapy with many years experience covering all areas of emotional health and wellbeing.
