Meet Helen

Hi, my name is Helen and I am an integrative therapist based in Manchester. I work full time in a university supporting students mental health and wellbeing. I am working in private practice in the evenings and currently all sessions are online.

I am experienced in a range of mental health conditions and want to support my clients to getting where they want to be emotionally. My biggest goal is for you to feel empowered and promote positive change.

I also have a progressive genetic eye condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), which primarily affects my peripheral vision. This condition is inherited and leads to the gradual degeneration of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Over time, it can cause a narrowing of the field of vision, often beginning with a loss of peripheral vision and eventually progressing to tunnel vision. RP can make things more challenging to perform everyday tasks like reading, driving, or recognising faces. Despite the gradual nature of the condition, it can have a significant impact on daily life, requiring ongoing adaptation to changes in vision.
