Testimonials

“Helena worked with me over a number of months and with her help I was able to overcome my feelings of overwhelm and procrastination which I now believe stemmed from my past.

Helena worked with me using a mindfulness approach and I was able to learn how to regulate my emotions and manage my anxiety before moving on to explore some goals I had been putting off. Now I am finally living my best life, and feel as if I have been given a fresh start. If you are willing to put some effort into therapy I would strongly recommend Helena to help you get your life back on track. I found her very kind, patient and insightful.

“I contacted Helena after attending a workshop with her. I am in my early seventies and have been experiencing severe balance problems and dizziness for several years.

I had hospital checks but nothing was showing up. I have always been quite stressed and wondered if this was a part of the problem. Helena worked with me using mindful movement, breathing, relaxation techniques and mindfulness based hypnotherapy. Three months on I am delighted to report that gradually my daily dizziness has become less and less and now it rarely bothers me.

“I suffered from chronic social anxiety when a friend recommended Helena. She has helped me to explore my feelings and learn ways to manage my fears and worries. I chose to try hypnotherapy even though I was initially a little sceptical. However, it was nothing like how I had imagined and it made a big difference for me. I now feel more relaxed and comfortable in my own skin and I feel inwardly more confident. I feel more relaxed in social gatherings and sometimes I even enjoy them!

After my marriage broke down and my kids had left home, I couldn’t see the wood for the trees, I felt really depressed and had lost my mojo. Helena helped me to consider what I wanted going forward, and what was really important to me. She also worked with me to help build up my confidence and faith that there was a bright future ahead. I am now retraining to be a landscape gardener, and have never been happier. I found Helena to be compassionate, sensitive, reflective and in tune with nature and the Earth. She is passionate about her work and sees the inner beauty in people and helps them to see this in themselves.”

“Helena sees the best in people and helps them to express it. She is very passionate in all that she does and that shone through in my interactions with her. Helena helped me with some some health issues I later realized had followed on from a personal bereavement. She really took time to listen, and was very flexible and pragmatic. She helped me to see my strengths, make peace with my past, and explore my options and opportunities for moving forward. As I worked on these issues my health also began to improve.

“Helena helped me reconnect with my own deepest values. I realized when working with her that my younger ‘conditioning’ had left me being really hard on myself. I now feel there is a purpose to my life again. I am more relaxed and feel now I am no longer on a treadmill. I feel much more balanced, I am sleeping better, and I generally feel a lot happier. I am also rediscovering my own creativity, which I now realize is my number one tool for managing my anxiety.
