Counselling for Adults in North Bristol

COUNSELLING for adults

I'm a person-centred counsellor but will also integrate other approaches into my counselling as appropriate. I offer one-to-one support for adults who are looking for a safe and supportive space to explore what’s going on in their lives. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, low, or simply unsure of where to turn, counselling can be a powerful step toward greater clarity, healing, and self-understanding. Whatever you're going through, you don’t have to face it alone.

At the heart of my work is the belief that every person has the inner resources to grow, heal, and find their own answers — given the right conditions. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment where you can talk freely, be truly heard, and begin to connect more deeply with yourself. We can explore what is happening, or has happened, in your life, your feelings, challenges, aspirations. We can work towards greater self-awareness and emotional wellbeing, empowering you to feel more confident in facing life’s challenges and supporting you to create meaningful, positive change.

Our sessions will move at your pace. There’s no pressure, no agenda — just space for you to bring whatever you need to, in your own time. My role is not to diagnose or direct, but to walk alongside you as you explore what matters most to you. I am here to help you navigate your journey toward healing and growth.

What my clients have said

"I had a fantastic experience, and Helen was a perfect counsellor for me! We worked through some really big issues for me and my emotional state has significantly improved and I have a more positive outlook as a result. I honestly cannot praise Helen enough! I always looked forward to our sessions every week as the space she provided was so safe and encouraging that she massively helped with my personal understanding and growth."

Client F

"My sessions with Helen have been amazing. She has been so supportive and helped me find a way forward with new focus and direction and able to manage ways to leave my past in the past and not look backwards only forwards from now on. I’m sure she will be able to help so many people in the future with her compassion, care and support. She’s fantastic. I have had some very complex deep rooted lingering issues that had been troubling me for many years. I have been trapped in my past for a long time. With Helen’s continued guidance, help, professionalism, kindness, support and encouragement she has helped me to tackle everything head-on and understand and accept that I am who I am today because of everything I’ve been through and experienced. I feel braver and stronger and so much more like me again. I feel great. I really can’t thank her enough for everything."

Client C

"It was the feeling of being able to really open up, knowing it was a safe space and it has given me confidence that I will be more able to cope. The conversations about self-care have changed my life and my Counsellor was wonderful. I will miss our sessions but know I am ready."

Client J

"I am very grateful for my sessions with Helen. She gave me a safe space to talk. She reminded me it was up to me what I shared with no pressure to share anything I wasn’t comfortable sharing. She was patient. She reminded me to take care of myself. She allowed me the space to share my feelings and helped me to consider my feelings to be valid and worth listening to. Helen helped me to accept myself as I am and to love myself as I am. Thank you, Helen."
