Helen Heath

I see clients in my practice Monday to Friday.  Appointments start at 8am and end 8pm.  There is some limited daytime and evening appointments currently available.

I am an experienced BACP registered and BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council) psychodynamic counsellor.   I work in my private practice in Hertford and have worked as a counsellor for various agencies and Middlesex University.  As an excellent listener, I can offer you a safe place to explore your thoughts and express your feelings about areas of your life and/or relationships that are not going as you wish and/or events recent or past that still trouble you. Together we can find a way forward for you to gain insight and understanding for a more fulfiling life. Every person is different and everyone needs an approach that will be tailored to best suit them. What is explored is entirely up to you. I place great importance on counselling allowing you the freedom to look at any or every facet of your life from earliest memories to the present day, in order to gain a greater insight into understanding your own emotional landscape. I have experience in counselling people with many different problems. The following is an example of some of these, but is not an exhaustive list. The fee per session is £60. There is some availability for lower cost for students and those on low incomes.  My counselling room is close to Hertford East Train station and there is plenty of free parking available nearby.  I also offer zoom and telephone sessions.

As an experienced counsellor I usually work once a week with clients.  Each session will last 50 minutes.  I offer short term and long term counselling.

In our first session together I may need to ask more questions than usual to find out how I might be able to help you.  It also gives you an opportunity to see if you feel I am the right person for you.
