Client Testimonials
"Finding Helen came at a time when I felt completely broken by trauma and weighed down by depression. I had lost hope that things could ever feel different. From our very first session, Helen met me with warmth, gentleness, and a kind of understanding that made me feel less alone for the first time in a long while.
She held space for my pain without trying to fix or rush it. When I struggled to find the words, she helped me feel understood . Through tears, fear, and moments when I wanted to give up, Helen remained steady and compassionate. She helped me face parts of my past I was terrified to revisit, while reminding me that I was safe and capable of healing.
Because of Helen, I learned that my trauma does not define me and that my depression does not get to decide my future. She helped me rebuild trust in myself and rediscover hope when I thought it was gone forever. The growth and healing I experienced with her support changed my life in ways I never thought possible.
I will always be grateful for Helen’s care, patience, and unwavering belief in me. Her work doesn’t just help people survive, it helps them truly heal."

"I honestly don’t have the words to fully express how much your support has meant to me. You have been such an important part of my healing, and I will never forget the care, kindness, and wisdom you have given me during one of the hardest times in my life. You helped me feel seen, heard, and held when everything felt so heavy and for that, I will always be deeply grateful."

"I came to Helen bearing the weight of so much pain and trauma. I had suffered abuse from my parents and then a forced marriage where things got much worse. With Helen I felt heard. For the first time. I thought I could never move past the shame and the fear. I began to realise with Helen's help that none of this was my fault. She worked with me at my own pace. Which was very slowly at the beginning. I am finally processing my trauma and rebuilding my self worth. Her belief in me gave me the strength to believe in myself again."
"With Helen's support, I have begun to heal in ways I never thought possible. I feel stronger, more confident and more hopeful for myself and my children. Helen not only helped to me to survive but to truly want to live again. I will always be grateful for the life changing impact she has had on my journey."
"Helen has been an incredible support for us as a couple. We came to her feeling stuck, frustrated and unsure if we even wanted a way forward. She immediately made us feel at ease. Her warmth and neutrality made us open up even about the most intimate and difficult topics. She guided us to help each other's perspectives and we just hadn't been able to do that ourselves. Through her gentle but insightful approach, we worked to communicate better. She didn't ever take sides or judge us. She just helped us to see what was causing our problems and how we could actually do something about changing them. What I think stood out with Helen was her how she encouraged us to recognise and appreciate each other's strengths whilst working through our challenges. Her ability to balance compassion with practical tools gave us the confidence to reconnect. I feel we have a much healthier stronger relationship as a result of this work. "
"I reached out to Helen during a very difficult time in my marriage. I found Helen to be a very kind, helpful and empathetic counsellor who led my wife and I back to a point of real happiness & confidence in our relationship. It wasn't an easy journey and we had to work at it. But if she can do it for us, she can do it for everyone."
"I came to Helen feeling a bit lost and helpless. My childhood was a difficult one and I was struggling with my own self-worth and doubting my own abilities, particularly when it came to being a Mum. Helen helped me over time to fully understand how my childhood had affected me, which also allowed me to be kinder to myself and enable me to pick up on triggers that I had been unaware of up until that point. I feel much more confident as a result of Helen’s support and am much more adept at creating boundaries with others to help protect my wellbeing and happiness. Thanks so much Helen for your invaluable insights and enabling me to work through things at my own pace."
"When I first started counselling with Helen White, I was at my lowest, struggling with overwhelming challenges. Since then, with Helen’s support, I’ve made significant progress. I now feel much more in control of my mental health and have regained a strong sense of stability. Helen has created a safe, understanding space where I can openly explore my emotions and work through past difficulties. The support I’ve received has been invaluable, and I’m truly grateful for the ongoing guidance as I continue my journey toward recovery with Helen."
"Helen's experience combined with her professional expertise, gives her a unique perspective. She has a way of understanding real world struggles and the problems I faced, from relationships and family issues to my career and my own need for growth, and she brings genuine compassion and wisdom to every session."
"I came to see Helen at a point in my life where I thought I had some serious anger management issues. Through the work we did, I dug deep and I finally worked myself out and worked out who I was and who I wanted to be. My problems weren't about my anger at all. It was about something entirely different but it was Helen holding my hand so to speak that enabled me to get to the point I am now. I am not finished on my journey but I finally feel as is if actually like myself, have belief in myself and appreciate my self for being different. Different is OK and I am happy with that. Helen has been instrumental in my change."
"I decided to seek help because to be honest I was burnt out, stressed and disconnected. I was working ridiculous hours. Helen understood the challenges of my professional environment - the demands and the expectations. Through our sessions, she provided me with practical tools and support to regain my balance, like setting boundaries, reflecting on my priorities and reconnecting with myself and my family. I had I think neglected that part of me for years. I am sure other counsellors would be good too but for me what set Helen apart was her empathy combined with her insight. She didn't just offer strategies - she helped me explore the deeper reasons behind my drive and perfectionism, giving me a fresh perspective on how I approached both work and life. Thanks to Helen's unwavering support, I feel more in control, more grounded, and more aligned with my true values. I even feel passionate again about my career (which I hadn't thought possible) but I have a sense of well being I hadn't even known I had needed. I truly thank Helen for helping me turn things around."

"Working through my anxiety with someone so insightful and empathetic was far more than I was expecting. I can’t recommend Helen highly enough."
