Helen Downs

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am licensed in the UK with 5+ years of professional work experience. I also have been a practicing Hypnotherapist for 7 years.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, LGBT + related issues, & trauma and abuse.
Professional and personal experience has enabled me to effectively work with neuro diverse clients over the years of professional practice.
Additionally I work within the prison services and have a passion for assisting people and their families who have been involved in the system where struggles around mental health, diversity, ADHD and addiction are a common theme.
I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Our paths are not always straightforward and we can all lose our direction in life. The previous struggles, emotional pain and setbacks in life will now start to create greatness as you discover that our dialogue creates a space where you can plan to finally meet and embrace your unique self and your specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage.
I am here to support you in that process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for many people.

One major advantage is convenience and flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.

These services are provided by licensed professionals, and clients can change therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy offers a practical way to access therapeutic support while maintaining a professional, client-focused approach.
