Helen Stewart-Cox

I work on Mondays and Wednesdays in person in Hackney, East London, and have flexible appointments available for online work. Please feel free to send me an email and I'm sure we can find a suitable time to meet.

Hi, my name is Helen. I am a counsellor and therapist working with adults and young people either online or in person in Hackney, East London. 

I have particular experience of working with people living with anxiety, depression, addiction, loss, stress, relationship difficulties, identity questions and suicidal thoughts.

I offer psychodynamic therapy, which means we will get curious about your internal world as well as what’s going on around you in your life. We’ll look at what’s happened in the past in order to shed light on what’s happening for you in the present, and we’ll pay attention to unintentional habits that might be holding you back from living the way you want to live.

Together we will create a space in which you feel seen, heard and safe to explore and express yourself. We will think about how the messages you received from the world around you as you were growing up have affected the way you feel about yourself and how you relate to the people and events in your life. Feelings that have been pushed down or cut off because they were too big to deal with at the time might come up and we will work through them together. 

In the first instance, I suggest a free 20 minute video call so you can get a flavour of what it would be like to work with me. This gives you the chance to tell me a bit a bout what’s going on for you at the moment and ask any questions you may have.
