Helena de Klerk

I currently do not have any availability (updated October 2023).

Want to better understand yourself and make sense of your experience? I am currently offering a limited number of sessions to help you map out current difficulties or experiences that might be getting in the way of you living your life fully. I am also offering one-off sessions with a solution focused orientation to help you move towards your goals in a short amount of time.

I am a counselling psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I am also a registered counsellor and psychotherapist with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).

I am based in Peckham for in person sessions (https://www.cayatherapy.co.uk/) and also offer online sessions via Zoom. 

You might have always wanted to try therapy but found it quite daunting. You might have never seen yourself as someone who might go to therapy. You may have had numerous therapies already. 

Before we meet we will arrange a free 20-minute telephone conversation so we can get a sense of what you are looking for and whether I might be the right therapist for you at this time.

The first session is an opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy and what it is that you hope to get from therapy. It is also an opportunity for me to get to know you and I may ask you questions about yourself and your life, while also respecting that opening up about things will take time. 

Towards the end of the first session we will have an opportunity to see how you found the first session and to think about practicalities such as fees and availability. If we are meeting for a one-off session or assessment then these practicalities will be discuss over the phone before we start.

If you are attending a one-off session or an assessment then I may ask you to complete a questionnaire before we first meet.
