I work with an integrative perspective incorporating body, mind and spirit, with a special interest in creative ways of working, including art, dreamwork and psychodrama. To explore additional ways of supporting body and mind to heal from trauma, I studied energy psychotherapy techniques to alleviate the physical and emotional symptoms experienced after trauma and I have a special interest in working with childhood trauma. I continue to study embodied approaches to psychotherapy.
Hello, my name is Helen and I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer short-term and long-term individual counselling and psychotherapy based in Maida Vale/Paddington, as well as offering online therapy via Zoom.
I work with individuals on a range of emotional and psychological issues. Perhaps a recent bereavement or relationship break up has left you struggling. Or the demands of life are leading to depression and anxiety which feel overwhelming. Talking about what you are finding difficult can help you to gain a new perspective, feel supported and come to terms with what you have experienced.
Drawing on my integrative training, I can use a range of tools and approaches to create the therapy that is best suited to you. I have been working one-to-one with clients since 2013 and I also worked for an NHS mental health team for almost 8 years. This means I have extensive experience of assessing and working with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and a range of difficulties.
Please do give me a call on 07779 710098 or send me an email at helenmstokes@gmail.com if you have any questions you would like to discuss. We can then arrange an initial meeting to see whether it feels right to work together. You are under no obligation after this initial meeting. If it seems that I am not the right therapist for you, I may be able to recommend another therapist or organisation that is more appropriate.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
