Helen George

My name is Helen and I am an experienced BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, Trauma Therapist and Specialist Fertility Counsellor. I currently work in private practice, and prior to this, I worked in the NHS for over 10 years as a psychotherapist.

I specialise in working with women who have experienced trauma and other distressing life events. Also, women who are struggling with infertility, baby loss and childlessness. I provide specialised infertility counselling, trauma therapy, as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I am passionate about supporting women. My aim is to provide a non-judgemental space where you will eventually feel safe enough to open up, talk and work through the difficulties you are experiencing.

Free telephone consultation

The first step towards change is to find the right therapist. Whatever you’re struggling with, I am happy to explore with you how I can be of help. I offer a free 20 min telephone consultation. This will be an opportunity for us to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and for you to get a sense of me and how I work. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

If after our telephone consultation we decide that it would be helpful to meet, the next stage of the process will be a face to face initial consultation where we can discuss your needs in more detail and how we can work together.

I am based in my own private consulting room which is located in the Hackney, Mare Street, E8 area. 

In addition to face-to-face sessions, I also offer the option of online and telephone therapy sessions.

Please feel free to contact me with any queries.

I offer clinical supervision to counsellors, psychotherapists and trainees.

My supervision work is integrative, drawing upon a range of models and ideas from both traditional and non-traditional schools of thought. ​ This encompasses an intersectional and transcultural lens.

I endeavour to create a reflective and supportive ‘joint thinking space’ where together, we can consider your clinical practice and the needs of your client. This includes time and space to reflect on your learning and professional development as therapist in training, or as a qualified practitioner.

I have a special interest in the restorative aspect of supervision and as such, particular emphasis is placed on your wellbeing. This is in relation to the demands of your clinical practice, life in general and the goings on in the world we live in.

I work with both individuals and groups.
