Counselling for Anxious, Overthinking and Exhausted Adults and Teenagers in Thurrock and Online

You might find yourself constantly overthinking, second-guessing decisions, or feeling disconnected from others, questioning your relationships. You may feel like you do everything for everyone else but when it comes to you, you don’t have a clue, there’s nothing left. You just feel you’re never enough. Has life changed after a loss and it feels like things will never be better again? Or are you stuck in addiction and can’t find a way forward? These experiences can be exhausting and isolating. But you don’t have to navigate them alone.

I’m Helen and I’m a qualified BA(hons) Counsellor and clinical supervisor with 10 years experience and I offer a compassionate, integrative approach tailored to your unique needs.

I’m here to help you turn down the constant noise in your mind. The overthinking, the replaying of conversations at 2am, the “did I say the wrong thing?” loop that keeps you on edge.

So your thoughts begin to feel quieter and clearer, and you can make decisions without going over them again and again.

To help you build a kind of confidence that comes from trusting yourself, your feelings and your voice, rather than constantly questioning how you’re coming across or trying to keep everyone else comfortable.

So you can feel more settled within yourself and more secure in your relationships. Not overanalysing messages, second-guessing where you stand, or feeling that underlying anxiety when something shifts.

Instead, feeling steadier, able to communicate what you need and stay connected without losing yourself.

You’ll learn what healthy boundaries actually look like in real life. Not just saying no, but noticing what doesn’t feel right, allowing that to matter, and responding without guilt or over-explaining.

This is about a different way of being. Where you feel more grounded, more like yourself, and no longer held back by that constant mental weight.

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, navigating neurodivergence, grief, or struggles with substance use, we can begin to understand what’s underneath and find a way forward that fits you.

Before I met Helen I was a closed off shut down man who thought very little to counselling and psychological issues. I thought I could think and belive my way out of problems from a place of denial and arrogance. Oh how i was wrong. Helen has helped me see amd how to become the man, husband, father my family deserves and most importantly the person I wish I had as a child. The self development and awareness of my behavior and actions amd past has been profound. I now firmly belive that change is possible with understanding and care of others is able to be made when you never knew how before by the support amdninsights that Helen has given me.

I returned to counselling with Helen a few years ago after suffering some issues, and would highly recommend. Helen is a great counsellor, discreet, helpful and without any judgement. I've always been made to feel that no problem is too big or small, and all of my feelings are valid. Helen helps me to gain a better perspective on issues as well as a better understanding of the best way to deal with situations now and in the future.

Often, these challenges are connected to patterns formed in our early relationships. Our attachment patterns can influence our self-worth, our ability to trust, and how we cope with stress and intimacy. 

Together we’ll work to understand how your past experiences and relationships may be influencing your current struggles. This understanding can help you develop healthier coping strategies, feel more confident in yourself, feel seen and valued by others, and rediscover a sense of balance and well-being in your life.

Whether you’re seeking relief from overwhelming thoughts and emotions, navigating the complexities of grief, striving to overcome addictive patterns, or just want to stop going round circles, I can help.
