Testimonials:

The Counselling Service which Helene provides has been an eye opener in many sense in regards to how counselling can be conducted. Helene”s approach is very wholesome and if I should say “eastward-looking”. This I have found absolutely fascinating and very helpful to my particular problems, much more so then the all the other so-called standard counselling which I have received.

I feel that Helene”s counselling service supports excellently Metamorphic Practice which she provides. Also I want to mention our discussions about the dreams that I”ve had; the analysis which Helene has provided me with has helped a great deal in coming to understand the unconscious workings of the mind. I have come to understand, through working with Helene that these interpretations are extremely valuable material for an individual trying to start to build up a cohesive sense of self.

I was in therapy with Helene for approximately 10 years with a few breaks throughout this time. One thing that I really appreciated was the flexible approach she offered me. I always felt the work was led by me and I could discuss whatever I needed to without feeling judged. Helene helped me to shed so much light on things and was there for me at every step of the way.

Helene helped me to see the simple reality of my innocence and how to empower myself in every day endeavors allowing for a deep connection with life to develop. It’s easy to say that this connection wouldn’t have been as fully realized had I never met Helene and spent so many hours thinking about and discussing such vital matters.

I am forever grateful to her for supporting me in such ways and remember our counselling fondly.

Although sceptical in the beginning I found the experience incredibly worthwhile and enjoyed your insight and input.

To use an analogy from my job our meetings became a “rest stop or service station” a place of refuge and calm and has truly helped us in understanding each other and how to communicate more effectively.

I have experienced trauma in my life and have had difficulties in the past in being able to trust touch as part of the healing process, but Helene’s touch is extremely gentle and not invasive in any way, and I felt very safe and able to completely relax during sessions. The sessions seemed to flow easily – sometimes we talked, sometimes there was silence, but above all there was space for healing to occur.

I highly recommend Hélène as a facilitator of this gentle, natural process.

“Your very subtle and light touch on my feet, hands and head opened me into a deep space of bliss, touching a place in me that had been really stuck – and allowed it to move, without even needing to understand what that was. After just one session I felt like I was being born – and so present and alive that I could just get on with my work.”

In both sessions the gentle, tenderness of your touch evoked a deep sensitivity. In the first, the one on the sofa, this conjured up memories of the magic, freedom and wonder of childhood, before the ‘coarseness’ of all the superimposed ideas about how I was ‘supposed’ to be took hold. In the second, when lying down, the sensitivity gave rise to a sadness for how we ignore the boundless joy of being and seemingly lock ourselves up in a straight jacket of physical tension and mental suffering. This sadness was couched within a deeper sense of utter contentment and even laughter at the wonder of it all.

“I have attended Helene’s care for about a year and I have to say that there have been great changes in my life during this time. Unexpected, happy occurrences have taken place and I am much less fretful about my life than I used to be. Big changes have taken place in my attitude towards life which has brought about a beautiful sense of calm. I believe that these changes are largely due to my sessions with Hélène”.

A friend of mine suggested that I have some sessions of the Chrysalis Touch as I was having difficulty getting over the breakdown of my relationship with my ex. It had been nine years since we broke up and my feelings of anger about being left with a new born baby all those years ago wouldn’t leave me. Although I had tried very hard to move on emotionally, I felt stuck.

I had some sessions with Hélène and since then I have found that my feelings have moved out and I feel so much better. This has manifested in my reacting very differently to situations with my ex that would have previously upset me. I now feel freed from the emotional hangover that I had and I believe that on some level it has freed him too. A tension that was there between us has dissipated.

This has improved my relationship not only with my ex, but also with my current partner. I feel some issues of trust have been resolved. I have no doubt that these changes are down to my Chrysalis Touch sessions.

I stepped into the unknown to a degree when I experienced the Chrysalis Touch with Helene. I had 3 sessions and found myself going deeply within and without on many levels from the physical to the spiritual and Universal and all the in betweens. I found myself in the womb at one point and at other times experienced confirmation and clarity as to where I have come from and where I am heading on my life journey. At times I went so deep I don’t know where I was yet all the time I felt safe and held in a beautiful loving space and energy. Thankyou Hélène.

“I was introduced to the Chrysalis Touch through Hélène offering my son and me the gift of a session in response to a huge crisis in my son’s life. He was born with significant damage to his kidney, bowels and bladder, and at the age of 10 was having to learn, and make a part of his life, a difficult new procedure; and to make sense of his differences in relation to his peers and to the rest of his life. He was anxious, unhappy and ill at ease with himself.

An hour after his session he stopped what he was doing, turned to me and said ‘I feel peaceful’. As his mother I had felt powerless to help him with this heavy burden, but after learning the basics and attending a weekend course with Hélène, I feel able to help in some little way, and equally important to me, to offer the same light touch and opportunity for oneness and peace to his sister as well.

I cannot really put into words how much the Chrysalis Touch has smoothed and oiled our day to day living on many different levels. Thank you Hélène, it really was a valuable gift.”
