Helen Scholes

Welcome! I am a  Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor and an Accredited, Registered member of BACP. I have over 11 years counselling experience working in a variety of settings, including GP surgeries, voluntary sector organisations, Employee Assistance Programmes and private practice.

- I offer face to face counselling for adults, young people aged sixteen and over and couples. I can usually offer you an appointment within 7 days.

-  I have studied a range of therapeutic models including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, 3rd Wave CBT, Mindfulness and Self-Compassion based approaches .

- Experience tells me that there is no such thing as a typical client - certain types of counselling suit some people more than others, so I draw from a range of approaches to provide the right help for you.

- We would meet in a discreet, comfortable consulting room in the centre of Shrewsbury.

- We will decide together how many sessions you are likely to need to achieve your goals. Often we can make a difference in as few as 6 sessions, but more can be available if needed.

If you have any questions or need more information please feel free to get in touch.

Hi, I’m Helen. I work full-time in private practice offering counselling, supervision and Mindful Self-Compassion Courses.

I offer supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors. I am also open to supporting supervisees from other helping professions.

My Approach

I believe that I can support you to be the best counsellor you can be through a positive working relationship. I provide a warm, safe space for you to talk freely and in confidence about your work, offering you emotional support, alongside guidance where appropriate.

Above all, for me, supervision is a collaborative, developmental and hopefully enjoyable process.

Qualifications and Experience

I am a BACP accredited counsellor with over 2500 hours client experience. I have worked in a variety of settings, including GP surgeries, counselling charities and private practice. I studied for my PGCert Level 7 in Clinical Supervision with Derby University.

Initially I trained as a Person Centred counsellor and have since studied Psychodynamic and 3rd Wave CBT approaches. I am able to offer pure Person Centred or integrative supervision.

Having worked as the Director of a local counselling charity which had BACP Service Accreditation, I have an in-depth understanding of clinical, professional and ethical standards. I also have a strong commitment to my own on-going professional development as a counsellor and a supervisor.
