“I had a short number of EMDR sessions with Helen to help me work through a traumatic bereavement that was continuing to affect me. While the thought of reliving this was scary for me, Helen made me feel incredibly supported in all of the sessions and allowed me to take everything at my own pace. Being able to stop when the process became overwhelming was really important to me and helped me feel safe. Although I found EMDR difficult at first, with Helen’s support I was able to let go of my reservations and I found myself processing feelings and memories that I didn’t even realise I was carrying with me. I was able to let go of the guilt I had been feeling and to my surprise, could no longer recall the images that had been so triggering for me. EMDR was incredibly cathartic and healing for me and I am very grateful to Helen for all of her help.”
“I was totally resigned to always feeling all the negative and upsetting emotions that regularly occupied my head after a traumatic event that happened over 20 years ago. The recurring images, sadness, feelings of guilt, being a failure and never being quite good enough. How could it ever be any different for me? It happened, I had to live with it, accept it. But it is different, very different, I can now look back without the all engulfing sadness, like I’m just looking through photos of any other past experience, the deep negative emotions are no longer attached to the memories. I don’t know how EMDR works but it feels like magic, I wish I’d found this healing years ago. I am finding it doesn’t stop there either, my feelings of self-worth and being ‘good enough’ are growing, I’m far less reactive when faced with what would have been ‘triggers’. I’m so grateful to Helen, she made me feel listened to and supported from the offset, and I felt in very safe hands. Helen is knowledgeable and professional, she made it easy for me to offload all that was in my head (that in itself was a release) and gave me confidence that if anyone can help me, she can, and she has. ”

“I have had sessions with Helen for around 3 years now and I can’t thank her enough for the endless support, help and guidance she has provided to me over that time. Helen has given me the tools needed to cope with what I’ve been through, as well as prepare me for any challenges that lie ahead. Whilst initially sceptical about the effects of EMDR, the growth I have seen in myself as a result has been amazing. I am a very different person to the one I was 3 years ago and I believe much of that is due to my regular sessions with Helen. I would recommend Helen to anyone in a heartbeat.”
