Perhaps life was going along quite smoothly, then suddenly everything turned upside down.  Or maybe you've had a feeling for some time that things aren't right - and you just can't ignore it any longer.  Either way, things have changed and you are left feeling confused, maybe even hopeless.  You don't know which decisions to make for the best.  You feel out of control and that makes you anxious; you sometimes having trouble sleeping - and getting up - everyday life feels like a struggle.

Relationship Counselling & Counselling for Life Changes with Helene Baker

I had no emotional certainty about anyone – not my wife or my new  love. Only for my child, which in turn brought on acute sudden depressions. This feeling was accentuated by the emerging sense that not just the present, but also the past, were troubling me and that this past had much to do with the current inability to see anything clearly. As I described it to Helene at the time, it was like trying to find a way through a very dense forest. I couldn’t see the wood for the trees… This year of support with Helene has been immensely and profoundly helpful, enriching and rewarding. I have learned much about myself – my strengths as well as my emotional frailties, and have sensed the development of a more mature inner self. I have come to terms with much about my personal history, and found myself far less angry about things that would have caused anxiety in the quite recent past. I have found a way to comprehend my feelings, live more truly in the present, and appreciate the healing and considerational qualities of time, which I now believe offers many answers, if we’re prepared to listen to its deeper and largely unseen rhythms. What I felt was given to me slowly over the year, which I described to Helene, was an ‘emotional toolkit’. I realized that positive change is not about being some new kind of improved super-person, but about living with and listening to all parts of oneself – the good and the bad, the light and the dark. This has allowed me to experience a deeper inner calm, a more realistic positivity & has opened my eyes to a renewed creative direction. MA

2010 Helene Baker Counselling in London with Counsellor in North London

Counselling was
   crucial in helping me    
   through a difficult time.  
   Helene's rare ability to
   crystallise what I felt,
   along with a deep and
   genuine compassion,
   created a totally
   accepting space in which
   I felt heard & supported
   in each session. The
   counselling process
   developed naturally,
   never feeling over-
   directed, and there were
   moments of profound
   healing, insight, and even
   humour. I have come
   away with greater
   understanding of my life
   and a renewed sense of
   optimism and calm.   RC


I found counselling
   incredibly helpful in
   many ways. I needed
   a calm place in which
   I could explore difficult
   feelings and Helene
   created a non-
   judgmental
   environment where I
   could explore any
   thoughts or feelings
   and learn to notice &
   understand patterns I
   had developed through
   my life. Helene was calm
   and thoughtful & gently
   helped me in the
   direction of a better
   self-realisation.     RH


This year of support 
   with Helene has been
   immensely & profoundly
   helpful, enriching and
   rewarding. I have learned
   much about myself and
   sensed the development
   of a more mature inner
   self.  I have found
   a way to comprehend my
   feelings, live more truly
   in the present ... What I
   felt was given to me was 
   an ‘emotional tool kit’. 
   This has allowed me to
   experience a deeper
   inner calm, a more
   realistic positivity and
   has opened my eyes to
   a renewed creative
   direction.              MA


 Counselling (with
   Helene) helped
   me recognise how
   intense my life was
   and helped me create
   the space I needed
   to 'breathe' again. It
   helped me relax and
   think about new ways
   of making life that
   little bit easier for
   myself.               Chloe

        
 I felt I could share
   even the most difficult
   of situations in the
   totally non-judgmental
   and accepting space
   Helene creates. I really
   value her insight which
   has an accuracy and
   relevance to it which
   reveal her deep level
   of experience.        EN 


 Helene offers a
   non-judgmental
   space where I feel
   I am able to bring
   my struggles, fears
   & breakthroughs.  EH
