Therapy at True You Psychology
Helen’s Approach
To me, good therapy is about more than just listening and validating. I know that it’s important to you that you can learn about why you are the way you are, and how you can manage symptoms with practical skills.
We’ll work together to clarify your specific therapy goals, whether this involves symptom reduction or delving deeper to understand and ‘unlearn’ patterns of the past.
I will tailor a range of therapeutic methods to meet your specific treatment needs. My counselling takes an integrative psychotherapeutic approach that is based on principles of:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
Solution-Focused Therapy
Mindfulness
Ego State Therapy (‘Parts Work’)
Therapeutic Style
(aka ‘The Vibe)
I aim for my sessions to feel casual yet informative. Kind of like chatting with an old friend who really knows her stuff. She’d balance warmth with hard truths. She’d offer different perspectives and new information to help you make sense of things you feel stuck with. She’d use humour and playfulness to remind you that it’s okay to just be human*.
*(She also wouldn’t judge you for swearing and ugly-crying, so long as you don’t judge her for bad puns and any Simpsons references.)
