Hello, my name is Helen. My background is that I am a Speech and Language Therapist. My career specialising working with complex needs led me to train to become a Counsellor working with both Children and Adults. I have experience as a mental health therapist working within NHS (Inc IAPT), Schools, Community Agencies, Private Health Companies and also in Private Practice. I have worked as a Primary Mental Health Worker within Children and Young People Suffolk Wellbeing Service. To further my psychotherapist skills, I completed my MSc CBT and Counselling (High Intensity CBT and Brief Dynamic Therapy). More recently I have completed training as an Advanced Clinical Supervisor including Online and Telephone Working.
I work more as a 'integrative' therapist. Which means that because of my knowledge and skills, I can use more than one therapeutic approach. My core training is Person-Centred Counselling. I like to work with each client on a individual basis, tailoring therapy to the individual, as every one person is unique. My therapy approach includes Person-Centred, CBT, Brief Dynamic Therapy.

My own core therapeutic counselling training began with training in Humanistic / Person-Centred Approach. I have trained to work with both adults and children. I have since expanded my knowledge having completed my MSc in CBT & Counselling (Hi-Intensity CBT & Brief Dynamic Therapy). I now work more as an Integrative Therapist. I have experience working within the NHS (inc. NHS Wellbeing / IAPT), Community Agencies and Private Practice. My clinical skills I feel have been further enhanced from my background training as a Speech and Language Therapist specialising with patients an their families with complex needs. My caseload include working with neurodiverse clients.
I think it is important to feel comfortable with your supervisor. I like to offer a brief 20 min online video / telephone introduction appointment for us to get to know each other and to establish what your needs are, your therapeutic approach and for us to see how best I can support you. We would then agree on an initial supervision appointment which would include going through our supervision contract together and caseload / placement details and any further paperwork requirements i.e. 4-way placement agreements / supervision reports you may need from myself.

I appreciate that supervision requirements are individual to each person and also the requirements of your own professional membership bodies.
I am flexible and happy to discuss your supervision requirements whether you are a student or a qualified therapist. Be it that you may require require 1 x hour or 1.5 hours per month, more specifically, due to the fact that you are already receiving supervision elsewhere.
I believe that students are best supported with supervision fortnightly whilst they are in training, and therefore we could collaboratively agree supervision pro rata to client caseload size i.e. 45 mins or 1 x hour fortnightly.
Depression, Anxiety (inc. Worry / GAD), OCD, Interpersonal Relationship Issues, Trauma, Low Self-Esteem, Social Anxiety, Panic, Phobia, Anger, Relationships issues.
