Testimonials:

I have benefited greatly from supervision with Helene, and I feel I have experienced the relationship on two levels; as an equal and as a student. Helene has made me feel that I can bring issues to her and has guided me through finding my own answers as opposed to an authoritarian approach. She has been encouraging of my abilities yet has also offered advice on alternative approaches. I have also been encouraged to be aware of issues that may and have been brought up for me during the process of counselling and Helene has offered a safe environment to process these issues when needed. I feel I have not only gained invaluable knowledge from Helene but I have also gained the ability to trust my own decisions and my own counselling abilities.

Supervision with Helene is a rewarding and rich explorative experience of the different layers of relationship and ‘being’ that are taking place in the client/therapist and supervisee/supervisor spaces and connections.

Helene offers a deeply reflective approach to supervision, sharing her insights and feelings, probing and asking questions sensitively, to encourage a deepening of awareness and understanding of the therapeutic process. She is easy to engage with, and warm and supportive in manner.

Supervision with Hélène was both challenging and liberating at the same time. She was very strongly rooted in her own practice, which allowed me to feel grounded within my own, maximising my potential and authenticity as a counsellor.

I felt inspired by our sessions, and because I felt safe and empowered, I was able to fully explore being creative, melding alternative approaches into my own when appropriate. She was at all times very professional, and has been one of the best supervisors I have had. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I would recommend Helene to anyone thinking about getting some counselling – and I have done so to several friends already and always rave about how helpful her style of counselling has been. It is hard to quantify how important Helene’s sessions have been for me personally, but all I know is that she has really helped me recognise some of my negative patterns and ‘beat-myself-up’ habits and helped me come out of my depression and learn to look after and love myself better.

I feel that Helene has a very special way of listening and then adapting her approach to really suit my needs at different times. We spent time identifying issues as well as finding strategies for actually changing them – something that has been extremely useful for me to practice on my own years after my sessions with Helene.

Thank you Helene for giving me a little ‘life-raft’ of self-love techniques which I continue to use whenever I need them.

Dear Helene, thank you for being such a calm and caring therapist. Although it has been over a year since I last saw you, I can still feel the benefits of the therapy in my life. You helped me in getting in touch with my inner self, which I guess I had managed to lose in the hustle and bustle of everyday race. You had just the right approach which helped me tremendously.

I would like to thank you especially for all the support you provided before, around and after the birth of my son. It was a challenging period and I would like to express my deep gratitude for being there for me. I felt that you were really listening and understanding what I was expressing. Sometimes, especially after deep contemplation, I even felt a different kind of energy in the therapy room. Overall, I think the sessions helped me in becoming more grounded and confident in my everyday life. Thank you very very much.

I am now joyfully flowing with life as opposed to struggling against the tide. I often recall her words of wisdom or practice techniques she has taught me, to help me through life’s challenges. Hélène showed me the way to discover my own sense of inner peace, or as she so beautifully puts it, to ‘come home to oneself’. I really believe that peace in the world starts with a loving relationship towards the self and this is where Hélène has so profoundly transformed me.

Hélène has a unique approach and is clearly steered by a deep sense of integrity. She has an incredible gift and talent. I always look forward to a session with Helene, and I always leave feeling truly nurtured and enlightened. She has also been a tremendous support to several of my friends and I would recommend her to you with all my heart

I feel blessed to know Hélène. When I first started sessions with her, around 10 years ago, a seed was sown. At the time I was desperate and in need of urgent help. Little did I know that this life-saving step would lead me, with Hélène, to walk a beautiful path of self-discovery, self-love and spiritual growth. Over the years, Hélène has skillfully guided me through some very specific events, such as bereavement, relationship issues, family traumas and work-related stress.

She has helped me to ‘join up the dots’ between my childhood conditioning and current ‘loops’ and ‘stories’ and I feel that I know and understand myself better, without judgement or negative thought. With this gentle awareness, I have been able to move through my own fears, low self-esteem issues and energetic blocks, in order to achieve a healthier relationship with myself and others.

I got quite emotional as I was leaving but it wasn’t sadness – it was just some kind of release I think. I’ve found our sessions so helpful and relieving to my situation and I can’t thank you enough. I’m certain this new understanding will serve me well in the future. I really appreciate all the care and honesty you bought to our sessions and I’ve felt very held these past two months which is something I don’t often feel – I think that’s why I felt emotional as I was leaving as that will be missed.

Hélène, thank you for your continued encouragement and for your incredible ability to help me to find my path in life. I came to you as a student and in a state of confusion to understand “who I am” and the world around me. You helped me to gain perspective and to propel me into a being, the person that I always have been. You are a natural healer and very intuitive. Through your warmth and compassion, you created a safe space for me to open up and speak about issues that I couldn’t share with others. You have an extraordinary healing energy and you are an uplifting person to be around. The journey with you has been extraordinary for me and you have made me become aware of my own values and appreciate my own well-being. I will always value what I have learnt from you and this will always remain with me.

It became very clear to me early on that Hélène is an exceptionally gifted counsellor.
She has an unusual combination of qualities, both personally and professionally that enable her to work very deeply with a wide range of clients
