About me

Hi, I'm Helena (BPS-Chartered / HCPC-registered Senior Clinical Psychologist) and I offer assessment and therapy to adults (18 years +). My approach involves collaboration, compassion and understanding your unique lived experience. I provide evidence-based interventions aimed at driving meaningful personal growth. I support people experiencing various challenges including anxiety, trauma, loss/grief, adjustment to ADHD diagnosis, and low mood (full list below).

Additionally, I specialise in supporting individuals following acute illness and in adjustment to chronic illness.

For example, I've worked with people
following surgery, stroke, cancer diagnosis, burn injury, ICU admission, and hospitalisation for a major trauma / road traffic accident. My experience also extends to long-term health conditions: Long COVID, Fibromyalgia, POTS, ME/CFS, IBS, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, skin conditions and visible difference, and cardiac conditions.

Areas of interest

Trauma and Post-traumatic Stress (PTSD); Major Trauma (Physical); Illness Adjustment; ADHD; Grief, Loss and Bereavement; Depression; Anxiety; Self-Criticism; Low Self-Esteem; Sleep Disturbance.

In addition to the therapeutic approaches listed above, I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) in my practice.
