A calm place to talk things through

I’m Helen, and I offer a quiet, unhurried space to talk about whatever’s on your mind. I work with adults in York and online.

About me

I trained as a counsellor after twenty years in nursing, and I’m a registered member of a professional body. I’ve been in private practice since 2016.

I’m a registered member of my professional body, and I have regular supervision.

How I work

We’ll talk, and I’ll listen carefully. I won’t tell you what to do, but I’ll help you hear yourself think.

Listening first

You choose what we talk about, and how much you want to say.

Working together

We’ll agree what matters most, and we’ll check in regularly on how it’s going.

At your pace

We usually meet weekly. You can stop whenever you choose.

Your first session

Reaching out can be the hardest part. A first session lasts 50 minutes, and there’s no commitment to continue.
