Feel more at ease in yourself
Feel more at ease in yourself
Hi, I'm Helen, a Chartered and HCPC registed Psychologist specialising in Compassion Focused Therapy, Menopause informed Cogntive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and nature-based therapy. I offer sessions in Harrogate, Nidderdale, and online.
You may have been carrying things for a long time. Perhaps you feel anxious or low, hard on yourself, or disconnected from who you are. You don't need the right words, or a clear place to start, to get in touch.
I work with adults who want to feel steadier and more at home in themselves, whether after trauma, during a difficult life transition, or through peri-menopause, and menopause.
HOW I CAN HELP
Trauma and PTSD: support with the lasting effects of difficult experiences, working with the body as well as the mind.
Anxiety: understanding what keeps worry and tension going, and finding ways to settle.
Depression and low mood: making sense of how you got here and what might help.
Perimenopause and menopause: space to understand and work with the physical and emotional impact of these changes within the body.
Life transitions and self-criticism: support through change, and with the harsh inner voice.
MY APPROACH
Compassion Focused Therapy: building a kinder, wise relationship with yourself.
Menopause-informed CBT (EMBERS): practical psychologically-informed tools to help support you through the emotional and physical changes of menopause.
Nervous system regulation: stress and trauma can leave the body on high alert or shut down. Alongside talking, we use body-based approaches such as breathing, grounding and noticing physical sensation, to help you body build a sense of safety.
Nature-based therapy: I'm MIND-accredited in forest therapy, so if you'd like, we can meet outdoors among the trees.
WORKING TOGETHER
Make sense of it: We explore what led here, what keeps it going, and what matters to you.
Build safety in the body: We develop a felt sense of safety alongside the talking.
Choose what helps: Together we decide which approach suits you, at your pace.
You choose whether we meet in person, online or outdoors, and we adjust as we go. Some people prefer to talk. Others find that practices such as breathwork, or being among the trees helps.
