Helen Downs

Helen Downs is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings over five years of professional therapeutic experience. She has also practised as a hypnotherapist for seven years, combining those skills to support people through a wide range of difficulties.

She has worked with individuals facing stress and anxiety, addictions, LGBT+ related concerns, and trauma and abuse. Over the course of her practice she has developed experience supporting neurodiverse clients and addressing challenges such as self-esteem, relationships and family matters, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting, anger, career concerns, bipolar and depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.

Helen also works within the prison services and is committed to assisting people and their families who have been affected by the criminal justice system, where struggles around mental health, diversity, ADHD and addiction often arise. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, recognising that life paths are not always straightforward and that it can be easy to lose direction.

Her aim is to create a supportive dialogue that helps clients plan and reconnect with their unique needs so that past struggles and setbacks can be reframed as part of a journey toward greater wellbeing. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and Helen is available to support people through that process.
