Helen Loughran

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, and it’s important to find someone you feel safe with. I offer a calm, thoughtful and non‑judgmental space where you can explore whatever is troubling you—whether it’s a specific issue in your life right now or a deeper wish to understand yourself more fully.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist, which means we pay attention not only to what is happening in your present life, but also to earlier experiences that may still be shaping your feelings, relationships, and patterns today. Working together at a reflective pace, we can begin to make sense of these experiences and create room for change.

I see clients in my consulting rooms in Hertford and near Buntingford. I also offer online and telephone sessions. 

Alongside my private practice, I work with two charities, supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds and life circumstances.

I offer an initial free 15 minute telephone consultation so we can discuss what you're looking for in therapy and consider timings and cost. Please email me to arrange a phone call.  After we have spoken by phone, we can then arrange a first session.

In our first session we will discuss what is on your mind and gain an understanding of what it would be like to work together. We will be able to explore whether psychotherapy is best suited to your needs.
