About

Helen Willoughby has practised as a therapist since 2003, having earlier worked for many years as a nurse. She maintains a private practice and has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including sexuality, mental health, relationships, gender-related issues, grieving, low self-confidence, family difficulties, abuse and sexual abuse.

She creates a safe and supportive space for clients and draws on a variety of counselling models - including person-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Gestalt and other approaches - to meet each person where they are.

Helen treats people as individuals and works with warmth and compassion. At the outset she will take time to answer any questions or address doubts about the process.

Counselling can be challenging and requires courage, but it also offers a chance to be kinder to yourself and to breathe. If someone is ready to take that first step, Helen will be available to support them as they move forward.

She looks forward to working with new clients.
