how Helen works
Philosophy
Helen views therapy like gardening - a process needing care, reflection, some work and an awareness of the connection between all living things as part of the circle of life.
Gardens thrive with a gardener's attention and nature's kindness. Similarly, people grow and find peace through therapy's supportive care.
Helen aims to create a safe, understanding therapy space, providing the right conditions for growth to emerge.
