welcome

…to Your Path which offers counselling by Helen Braithwaite (MSc Counselling, PG Dip Counselling, MBACP, RGN.) a professional and fully trained counsellor. Counselling is a highly individual process and within this website I hope to offer you an insight into counselling and the way in which I practice. Please contact me if you wish to discuss your individual needs or to answer any questions you may have.

Why Counselling?

Most of the time in life we sort out the day to day things that happen on our own or with the help of family or friends but sometimes in life things happen, things go wrong - loss and bereavement, the breakdown of a relationship, illness or unemployment - we may lose our direction, it is difficult to know which path to take.

This is where I believe counselling can help as it provides a safe, confidential and neutral space in which we can work out who we are, where we are, which road we wish to take? A counsellor can offer you support and understanding as you work your way through your thoughts and feelings. I work as an integrated counsellor, using the learning from a number of different counselling models; this enables me to work with a wide range of issues in an empathic and creative way. This means working together, exploring your needs and issues in a mutual way while respecting your pace and individual needs.
