Helen Martin-Smith, Counsellor

1-1 Counselling giving the opportunity to pause, breath and reflect on past or present issues to gain new perspective and understanding of yourself.

1-1 Counselling.
Counselling gives the opportunity to pause, reflect, breath, understand, and listen to your thoughts. This opportunity can be very rare in todays hectic and chaotic world.
I believe that the Client-Therapist relationship is a key part of the counselling process. In order to work through whatever is troubling you, you need to feel completely free to explore your thoughts and feelings in a space you feel is non-judgemental and safe.
I am dedicated to creating a trusting relationship and environment in which you can truly be yourself. Or work out what that is.
I am an Integrative counsellor, which means I have learnt about different approaches and theories in order to respond to what you bring to our sessions. We all experience life in different ways, and for this reason I feel it is important to work with your individuality in a way that will suit you.
Counselling can bring new perspective and understanding to our thoughts, feelings and behaviours, which in turn can bring about the changes you wish to see in your life.
