About me

For over 25 years I have worked therapeutically with adults and children alike, helping them find a sense of inner peace, ease, joy, and hope so they can live freely and fully.

I have worked in a variety of settings including; schools, Great Ormond Street Hospital, adult and children hospices, the corporate sector and a shelter for the homeless. I have also worked within the NHS as an Integrative Nutritional Health Coach helping people regain a sense of wellness through giving appropriate support and a fuller understanding of the inter relationship between their physical and emotional health. I am also a qualified teacher and the CEO and founder of A Touch of Gentleness CIC

I work as a Human Givens counsellor from my home in East Sussex where I see people of all ages from 5 years upwards and support them back to happy living in as few a sessions as possible. As a Human Givens counsellor, my work is always tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual client in a creative, thoughtful, stimulating, solution focused and effective way.

If you feel I may be able to help you or anyone you know then please do contact me so we can chat further and ascertain whether my approach is right for you.

Testimonials

"I have suffered from low self esteem and anxiety all my life, I thought I was an unworthy person and unhappiness was my destiny. Helen was amazing from the first meeting, always attentive, never judgmental and incredibly supportive. She was so understanding and honest with me, she created a comfortable environment in which I felt safe to share my deep-seated beliefs, no matter how irrational. Every time we meet we built on previous sessions. Her expertise and knowledge is phenomenal, as was her ability to fully understand my anxieties and needs, and her ability to remember things I said even months ago. She was incredibly intuitive and the therapy was so attuned to my needs and facilitated diminishing old entrenched memories and unhelpful patterns of thoughts & beliefs. I can honestly say my recovery has been so much more than I could ever imagine... I feel like I have a second chance in life. Helen has faith in me and has literally helped turn my life around by regaining confidence in myself. I can not thank her enough. On reflection I do not know how I would have got to where I am now without her support. One amazing lady."

50yr old female with a narcissitic mother

"I've had a few different types of therapy over the course of many years, but none that have had the effect that having Human Givens therapy with Helen has had on me. I feel such a positive change in my mind set, so much clearer, lighter, confident in my choices & empowered to just be me! It's helped me to really let go & move past trauma that has held me back for most of my adult life & I feel so relieved & free. Helen is gentle in her approach, so warm & kind hearted. She is exceptionally knowledgeable & totally professional at all times. She has such a wonderful energy about her which immediately puts you at ease. In short Helen helped me get over some of the toughest experiences I never thought I would."

Female 40's childhood trauma

"I have been seeing Helen for ongoing counselling sessions for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Depression over the past year on a regular basis. Helen’s gentle approach has supported and helped me to overcome so many obstacles that had been holding me back. Helen taught me to trust my inner guidance, and through the use of the amazing techniques she uses has supported and released me from past repeating patterns. I have even overcome my fears of driving longer distances and actually drove to Wales. Helen is a gentle soul, full of kindness, empathy and knowledge."

Female 50's childhood trauma

"Despite being on anti-depressants for over ten years when I couldn’t even feel any joy at my own daughter’s wedding, I knew I needed more than just tablets. I am so, so grateful to have met Helen. I am now off my anti-depressants and feel joyful again. Helen gave me the space, time and support to talk and explore what was really going on with no judgement. Over the weeks, we looked at all aspects of my life. I have changed my diet and started new hobbies. I genuinely look and feel better then I have in the last ten years. It feels like my life is just beginning again"

Female 50's depression

"Helen made such a huge difference to my daughter who aged 8 was suffering with general anxiety which was getting so bad she was refusing to attend school or leave the house. Helen’s warm personality and creative interventions have made a lasting difference and we now have our happy, considerably much more confident daughter back. She goes to school with a smile and we are able to enjoy family outings once again."

Mother of an 8 year old

"Helen has been working with my son on his needle phobia in order for him to receive life-extending treatment. Before she met him, he would hide in the house before his transfusions, he was so afraid to go, and fought even the smallest medical intervention from wearing a plaster to using an ice pack. Now he goes to his transfusions with confidence and a range of tools he uses to help him with the experience of having a cannula put in each month.
Helen is patient, positive and understanding as well as being highly knowledgeable. She knows how to get the best from our son, and has a wonderfully creative approach to his therapy, which he always looks forward to."
