About Me and My Therapy Practice

Hello, I'm Helena — a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Twickenham. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to navigate it alone.

Perhaps you're feeling anxious, low, or overwhelmed. Perhaps life has knocked you sideways and you can't find your footing. Or maybe you just know something isn't right, but can't yet put it into words. All of that is welcome here.

I work with adults, couples, and young people on a wide range of challenges — anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, eating disorders, and work-related stress, among others.

My Approach

I'm an Integrative therapist — I don't apply a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, I draw on CBT, psychodynamic therapy, person-centred work, and solution-focused techniques to create something that fits you specifically. My style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. Many clients tell me they've never felt comfortable talking about certain things before. That changes here.

Your First Session

The first session is up to 90 minutes and low pressure. We'll talk about what's brought you to therapy and how we might work together. There's no obligation to continue — but in my experience, most people leave feeling relieved they came.

Qualifications & Experience

I hold a first-class BA (Hons) in Integrative Relational Psychotherapy and Counselling. I work as a therapist at a London university and have extensive NHS GP practice experience.

The Practice

Two minutes from St Margarets Station; ten minutes from Richmond and Twickenham (TW postcode). Private, calm, and discreet. Online therapy also available.

You've already taken the first step by being here. The next one is simply getting in touch.

I offer spacious rooms in a beautiful setting. You will feel at ease the moment you enter the Practice. The rooms are beautifully decorated, spacious and immaculate.

The first session may be a bit longer, up to one and a half hours. I hope in this session to reassure you in the first instance and to give you hope and confidence that this is the potential start of things turning around for you. I'm happy to have. a free chat over the phone before you commit.
