A Masters graduate in Counselling Psychology, Helena is passionate about working with clients of all ages, backgrounds, and genders through a socially just and culturally responsive lens. Primarily experienced in Narrative and Jungian methodologies, Helena fosters her clients’ development of self-compassion, working with them to find meaning and belonging in their relationships with self and others. Her background as an educator and school counsellor gives her a particular ability to relate to children and teenagers.

Drawing on emotion-focused therapy and mindfulness techniques, Helena listens fully and deeply to what is said and what is not said, in order to create a space where her clients can feel safe and brave, to share, learn, and unlearn. With a kind, creative, and empathic approach, Helena is committed to life-long learning and the art of developing the self.

Helena is grateful to live and work on Sinixt territory.
