WHAT CLIENTS SAY

“After some failed attempts at therapy, I was very fortunate to have found Helen. Only after a few sessions, Helen has been able to help me view things from an empowering perspective, gain clarity and help process my thoughts and feelings. I find Helen’s approach to be kind, caring, sometimes direct. It doesn’t feel clinical or judgemental like others have.”

Luke, Central Coast, Australia

“My experience doing couples therapy with Helen has been just excellent! Some words to describe Helen and her approach include: compassionate, dedicated, thoughtful, flexible, understanding and fair. She has helped my partner and I to improve our romantic relationship in ways that other therapists haven’t been able to. Thank you”

Rebecca, Sydney, Australia

“We were both amazed and impressed by how accurately Helen pinpointed what we needed to work on and could not stop rambling about how wonderfully understanding you were and how beneficial the session was. Already, things are much more stable and open than they were, and we’re so grateful to you. We’ll be recommending your services to anyone who asks!”

I&J The Entrance, NSW, Australia

“I would highly recommend Helen for couple’s therapy. Her honest, open, and straightforward approach allowed us to be more open with each other. It wasn’t always easy, but she was warm, calm, and easy to talk to.”

Leanne F, Newcastle

“My husband and I flew from Perth to NSW to do a 2-day Relationship Intensive with Helen and Jon. I was 100% ready to end the marriage. This was our last-ditch effort to salvage our 14-year marriage. We needed someone to be direct with us, cut through the BS, and get the source of our issues, and that’s exactly what Helen and Jon did. It was a great experience in which we felt supported and came out of it with a “new” marriage and the skills to reconnect and rebuild our marriage. The space in which the intensives are held is beautiful. It was of benefit for us to be away from home and the daily stresses of life and work while doing this program. It was a lifesaving, and we will be forever grateful.”

Lesley & Mick (Perth, Australia)

“Over the three months I saw Helen my life and attitude towards life began to change. Not only was she a person I could open up to, she was also someone who could help me deal with my demons I had deep down within myself. She helped me let go a lot of traumas which I hadn’t looked at in a very long time. Helen helped me become a better partner and father. I am proud to say I am in a better place frame of mind than I have ever been. I continue to have sessions with Helen when I need them. She is a legend!”

Blake, Chittaway Bay, NSW

“Helen has helped me deal with and understand my trauma, from childhood all the way to adulthood. She has been truly amazing with my journey in life. I would highly recommend her.”

“I was skeptical about going to therapy but I was in a dark place and I needed help. I’m glad I found Helen. She was easy to talk to and I would leave feeling lighter”
