Counselling Langport - Somerton

My name is Helen, I live locally and have worked alongside people suffering mental ill health for over fifteen years. I realise that skilled talking therapy/counselling is one of the most valuable and lasting ways in making deep seated change; reaching to the very roots of how and why we are. 

 

Most of us have experienced times in our lives when we feel over-whelmed, lost, confused, fearful, grief stricken or just struggling to find a way forward.


I am skilled in counselling both individuals and couples with a wide variety of presenting issues including abuse and addictions, anxiety and depression, bereavement and loss, family struggles, infertility and childlessness, relationship issues, stress and trauma. 

 

I work with a gentle person-centered approach enabling and equipping you to move forward in a way that feels more manageable and empowering.

 

 

About me

I completed my Higher Diploma in Counselling and have gained valuable experience both with Cruse Bereavement and Vine Counselling. As a registered member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I work to an approved ethical framework for quality standards.

I have a comfortable, private and peaceful country practice locally. Counselling sessions are held in The Cabin, which is set amongst the plum trees overlooking nature and is a comforting space at the end of a garden. It has parking nearby and easy safe access. I follow Covid guidelines and the windows will be open. In these challenging times I also offer walking talking therapy too.

 

If you have any questions about therapy or would like to make an appointment, then I welcome you to send me a message.

Online therapy

I offer counselling via Zoom and Skype, as well as via telephone. Online counselling is proving very effective and perhaps more effective for some people. Please contact me to learn more. 



Statement concerning the coronavirus pandemic

I am currently offering walking talking therapy particularly during these difficult times for those needing one to one contact.

I will be offering face to face sessions in The Cabin when it is safe again. The Cabin is set amongst the plum trees overlooking nature and is a comforting space at the end of a garden. It has parking nearby and easy safe access. I follow Covid guidelines and the windows will be open.

We would definitely recommend Helen

We found Helen to be easy to talk to, empathetic and perceptive. She quickly understood our situation and with sensitive questioning and support she helped us to resolve our issues which were largely hangovers from previous unhappy relationships. We now find it easier to talk to each other and to see each other’s point of view.
We would definitely recommend Helen and would, without a moment’s hesitation go back to her if we ever reach an impasse in our relationship again.

Professional, encouraging, supportive, understanding

Helen has been nothing but; professional, encouraging, supportive, understanding, open, calm, honest, adaptable and kind.

1 year of support from Helen has empowered me to be a better, stronger, calmer version of myself.

I have managed to shut those voices up in my mind and stop worrying about things.

Helen taught me
"the present is the only reality"
in moments of "what if"

A true gem to have found Helen at a time of darkness.

Thank you.

Counselling with Helen helped me tremendously

Counselling with Helen helped me tremendously, without it I would not have been able to drag myself up from the depths of my depression.

I strongly recommend anyone to seek your support

I started to see Helen when I was at a very low point and also suffering with anxiety and panic attacks. I had found myself in a job that was impossible to do in the hours given and could not balance it with my role as a single mum. There was no support at work which culminated in me resigning. In addition to this I was dealing with bereavement of two very special people in my life.

At the time I was also trying to please everyone and felt responsible for all those around me. My inner dialogue was very negative and especially cruel to myself. I could not really afford to see a counselor but was offered reduced rates. It has been the greatest investment I’ve ever made. I felt instantly at ease with Helen. Her kind and gentle approach enabled me to open up and explore many issues past and present.

I honestly feel a lot younger, happier and more relaxed. I am working again and enjoying it. I feel that I can cope with whatever life throws at me now and value what I have. I’ve not had a panic attack for at least 6 months. I think the biggest change has been in how I see myself. I actually like myself, appreciate who I am and look after myself. There are times when the negative dialogue raises her voice, where I put myself down or feel guilty, but I am now better equipped to recognize and deal with this.

So thank you Helen and I strongly recommend anyone to seek your support.
