“Helen is a very thoughtful, knowledgeable and perceptive supervisor who has provided me with invaluable support through the certification process and in deepening my understanding of IFS clinical work.”

“I have known Helen for some years, both in the role of supervisor and being part of a small group she runs. Helen has great depth both personally and in her work. Through her presence she is a safe and holding container for the work. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Helen has been instrumental in supporting my transition into working with IFS with my clients. Her expertise as an IFS consultant, alongside her depth of experience as a psychotherapist particularly with adolescents — has been invaluable. Her thoughtful approach, wisdom, and years of practice have steadied me as I navigated this shift in my clinical work. She has a remarkable ability to offer structure and clear guidance, while also creating the space for me to find my own way as a practitioner. I feel in very safe hands with Helen, especially when working with young people from challenging backgrounds, where safeguarding issues can arise frequently. Her calm presence, clinical insight, and grounded judgement give me confidence in even the most complex situations.”

“Helen embodies a warmth and gentle strength that supports individuals and groups to feel a sense of safety. I have found her to be a person who can be relied on. She has a gift of coming to new insights and articulating these beautifully in support of the group. She is a reflective and thoughtful therapist and teacher who shares her wisdom with humility, authenticity, and a dose of gentle humour.”

"Helen is a gift to any group space requiring wisdom and compassion-based strong holding. Her years of experience with complex trauma healing manifest as a unique presence which is warm, deliciously fun, brave and deep. My system would delight in any workshop that Helen was leading, confident that she creates the conditions required for spontaneous emergence of novel human experiences."

“As a child and adolescent psychiatrist and IFS therapist, it has been brilliant that Helen has prior experience working with children, families, parents, risk and the care system. She provides a very calm,  flexible and containing presence;  her self energy helps me reflect on my own system and role without judgement. Helen frequently provides nuggets of wisdom and I am learning so much from her. “

“With genuine honesty, I can say that Helen has been a true anchor in my work as an Integrative Play and Creative Arts Therapist supporting children and adolescents in a special education setting.

Helen meets me with a deeply non‑judgemental presence, and through using IFS as a guiding map, she compassionately supports me to work meaningfully with my own parts that naturally arise in therapy. This process has been profoundly impactful, enabling me to show up with greater presence, and self‑leadership for my clients.

Each time we meet, I leave feeling more resourced, grounded, and supported as I continue to navigate and reflect upon my practice.”

“I found Helen to be wise, kind, supportive and safe. As a supervisor to someone who is very new to IFS, I found the way which she helped me identify, name and support my own parts in difficult client situations, absolutely transformative. Whilst at the same time helping me to see my clients through the IFS lens rather than the diagnostic way I had learnt through previous trainings”
