PSYCHOTHERAPY & FORGIVENESS

Creative Psychotherapy for Women at Mid-Life
Hi, I’m Helen.
I’m an HCPC-registered Creative Psychotherapist with 25 years’ experience, specialising in
supporting women at mid-life as they navigate change, transition, and the deeper questions
of how they want to live now.
Perhaps life looks fine on the outside, yet something inside feels different. You may feel
anxious, stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about what comes next.
Mid-life can bring profound shifts in our relationships, family, work, identity, and sense of
who we are. It can be challenging, but it can also be a powerful invitation to pause, reconnect
with yourself, find your authentic voice, and discover what truly matters to you now.
A grounded and soulful approach
I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, listen
deeply, and explore what is happening for you.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. You simply bring yourself and whatever you
are experiencing right now.
Together, we can explore the patterns that may be holding you back, develop greater selfcompassion, and discover new ways forward.
Alongside traditional psychotherapy, I draw on creativity, intuition, mindfulness, parts work,
and practical exercises. Where it feels meaningful for you, we can also explore spirituality
and ceremony. These activities offer different ways to explore experiences that can
sometimes be difficult to put into words.
Our work together provides safety for the difficult things to be held, whilst also leaving room
for curiosity, humour, hope and possibility.
Why I do this work
My own experiences have profoundly shaped the way I work.
After losing my father suddenly at 20, I became deeply interested in how human beings heal
and what helps us navigate profound pain.
I went on to work with people recovering from addiction, qualify as a Creative
Psychotherapist, and work internationally with communities affected by conflict and war.
I have also experienced my own seasons of loss and betrayal. These experiences have
deepened my understanding of what it means to hurt, heal, and find your way back to
yourself.
I bring both my professional and lived experience to our work with compassion, curiosity,
and deep respect for each woman’s individual journey.
Take the next step
We begin with a 90-minute introductory session, which costs £65. This gives us time to
get to know each other, explore what brings you to therapy, and see whether we feel like a
good fit to work together.
If we decide to work together, there is an 8-session minimum commitment, with sessions
costing £55 for one hour.
A series of sessions creates a supportive container for our relationship to develop and gives
meaningful change the time and space to unfold.
If you feel ready to explore what this next chapter might hold, I’d love to hear from you.

In-person sessions take place at The Cornish Therapy Centre in Redruth. Online sessions are also available.
