About Me

Perhaps you're caught up in 'shoulds' around how to be? Perhaps you're used to absorbing your surroundings? Perhaps you're seeing your identity in a new way or exploring what your identity means for being you? Perhaps your sense of self is wrapped up in work, perfectionism or organisational dynamics? Do you want a space to unpick who you are, what you need and what’s right for you? Welcome, I'm Helen, most people call me Hallie, I offer one-to-one counselling and psychotherapy sessions to adults 18+ in the UK via Zoom.

You're welcome here just as you are, and I'm here to meet you where you are at your pace, honouring your experiences, what they mean to you, and the uniqueness of you. I appreciate a safe space can mean something different to all of us and will work together to explore what this means for you. I don’t offer a ‘quick fix’, I aim to create an affirmative space together where you feel safe and valued to make sense of your experiences, connect with who you are, and to discover and experiment with what's right for you, based on your experience of what it's like to be you - in a space where you are the expert of that!

I have experience working with people with a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. I have additional experience in identity, autism, ADHD, AuDHD, highly sensitive people, high achievers, creative industries, work/ student life, perfectionism, disabilities and chronic health conditions. My approach is trauma-informed and neurodivergence, disability, LGBTQIA plus and size affirmative.

I'm a gentle, warm and social-justice oriented person with an anti-oppressive values-based approach. My approach is rooted in an interest in the interplay between the individual and society, power dynamics (personally, societally and in organisations), and supporting people to (re)connect with who they are. I have a background in sociology and in the creative arts which also inform me as a person and my approach.

I'm a UKCP registered psychotherapist with an MSc (distinction) from The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute. I have over 4 years' and over 450 hours' experience working with clients.

I offer sessions via Zoom on weekdays 11am-7pm. To enquire about current availability or to book in a free 15 minute introduction phone call or video call or 60 minute initial session at £25, please send an email or text. I aim to respond to all messages within 48 hours on weekdays.
