About me and my therapy practice
For over 35 years Rockhaven Counselling & Therapy has offered a discreet, sensitive approach, providing the opportunity to talk confidentially in a safe environment with an experienced practitioner.
I will listen to you, the client, and endeavour to provide a service tailored to meet your needs.
With a career in the music industry as a producer, qualified music teacher (Royal Schools of Music) and the advantages of being dyslexic, as well as traditional person-centred counselling, creative approaches are available for individuals and couples.
As an example, traumatised by two years of torture and unable to find the words to talk about their experiences, I offered creative ways for the client to express past events and their feelings. This included talking about what they had seen on television, meditation, having a joke, or working with a sand tray. After some months - that included powerful silences - they agreed to write down what was really concerning them.
Two years later their story was published as 'Time to Tell' - by Rockhaven Books Exeter. Roger Helyar FBACP, FNCS
