About me and my therapy practice
When your child/teenager is struggling and you don’t know how to help, it’s heartbreaking. You feel frustrated, out of control and overwhelmed. Your child is missing out and you are afraid for their future.
I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to do this alone anymore.
I am a BACP Accredited counsellor. I have worked with young people for more than 25 years; as an arts teacher and now as a therapeutic counsellor.
The therapeutic arts have been part of my life for even longer. After 3 decades of experience, I have seen how powerful they are to move people through challenges and difficulties.
This is especially helpful when working with children & teenagers who cannot put their feelings into words. Art and play gives them access to imaginative ways to express their feelings and communicate their needs.
Practice description
Therapy doesn't have to be scary. In fact, I make sure it feels sacred.
I incorporate different techniques depending on the needs of the client, working collaboratively with children and their families. Together we explore the thoughts and feelings behind everyday challenges. I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, meeting the individual where they are.
It is such a relief for parents when the family home is happier, calmer and more connected. It is also a very empowering experience as they walk away with a set of tools they can use together in the future when life gets tough.
Life simply feels easier.
There is hope again.
My first session
Your first session
Taking that first step and getting in touch can be daunting, you may have lots of questions on your mind.
This is why I offer a free 20-minute, no-obligation telephone conversation. During this time, we can think about whether it would be helpful to arrange an initial online appointment.
The initial assessment appointment can be up to 75 min.
It involves;
* An in-depth discussion about the situation
* The reasons for considering therapy for yourself or your child
* The most appropriate intervention
* Whether I would be the right person to help with this.
You then decide if I am the right person to help and we book in further sessions.
You are not obligated to book a specific number of sessions; however, I recommend 7 as this gives us enough time together to determine progress.
At the 7th therapy session, we complete a review where we discuss if continuing therapy would be helpful.

About me and my therapy practice
I’m Helen Segal, a Therapeutic Arts Counsellor who specialises in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help individuals overcome anxiety and phobias. I am dedicated to supporting clients as they heal from the challenges of anxiety and face their fears with confidence and resilience.
My Approach
EMDR is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy that helps process and reframe distressing thoughts, memories, and beliefs. Anxiety and phobias often stem from unresolved experiences or patterns of thinking, and EMDR works by addressing these at their core. Using this powerful method, we can help your brain "unstick" from negative loops and create new pathways for calm and empowerment.
What I Can Help With
Panic Attacks
Social Anxiety
Specific Phobias (e.g., fear of flying, heights, public speaking)
Traumatic memories linked to anxiety or phobias
How EMDR Works for Anxiety and Phobias
EMDR therapy focuses on reprocessing distressing memories or fears so that they lose their emotional intensity. Through guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, the brain is encouraged to process these memories in a healthier way. You’ll remain in control throughout the process, and sessions are tailored to your comfort level and goals.

Take the First Step
You don’t have to face anxiety or phobias alone. With EMDR therapy, relief and healing are possible.
However, taking that first step toward therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re struggling with anxiety. That is why I offer a free 20-minute, no-obligation telephone consultation. During this time, we can think about whether it would be helpful to arrange an initial consultation appointment.
The initial assessment appointment can be up to 75 min.
It involves;
* An in-depth discussion about the situation
* The most appropriate intervention
* Your hopes and goals for the future.
You then decide if I am the right person to help, and if so, we book further sessions and move forward with the therapy.
