Meet Helena
As an accredited member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and a registered member of the National Hypnotherapy Society and the National Society of Talking Therapies (NSTT), I bring extensive training and many years of experience to support my clients in reaching their goals. I am also EMDR qualified.
I offer hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and counselling using a client-centred, solution focused approach that can combine hypnotherapy and different models of psychotherapy, including psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural (CBT) therapies. Where appropriate, I may also use EMDR techniques within these sessions. I work with my clients towards an enhanced self-awareness of their adaptive and maladaptive strategies. We work in a safe and non-judgemental space where clients are unconditionally regarded and can gain more confidence to explore new experiences, grow, and feel in charge.
