A steady anchor when I needed it 15 March 2026

I was proper sceptical before booking — therapy felt like a big unknown and I'd had one or two awkward experiences with counsellors in the past, so I kept putting it off. The doubts were about money, time and whether I'd even click with someone. Turns out I needn't have worried so much. From the first session Helen made things feel normal and safe, not clinical, and I could actually talk. She's good at listening without rushing, and she nudges you to see different angles, which I liked. The practical bits she suggested — small exercises, ways to handle a bad day — were straightforward and actually useful. Sometimes I left thinking "that helped" and other times it was more subtle, but there was always progress, even if slow. Booking and reminders were easy, sessions generally started on time, and she was flexible when I needed to move things around. If I had a niggle it would be that notes or follow-ups didn't always arrive immediately, but that's a tiny thing compared with how much calmer I feel now. I'm really glad I went for it — the initial nerves faded after a couple of sessions and now I recommend her to friends without hesitation.
