Stop managing it.
Actually fix it.
Most people come to me because something in their mind just keeps doing a thing they don’t want it to do anymore. Anxiety, a habit they can’t shake, a fear that makes no sense, something they’ve been carrying for years. We find it, we change it, and then I teach you how to keep it changed.
You don’t just want to cope. You want it gone.
There’s a big difference between managing something and actually changing it. Most approaches teach you to manage. I’m interested in the other thing.
Change happens fast
Most issues clear in 3 to 4 sessions. Phobias often in the first. This isn’t years of talking about it. It’s targeted change at the level where the problem actually lives, which is the unconscious mind, not the conscious one.
You leave with skills, not just solutions
Every session teaches you something about how your mind works. So the changes stick, and you can apply the same tools to anything else you want to shift. The goal is for you not to need me, which is a pretty good goal for a therapist to have.
Based inside medical centres
Helen has practised alongside GPs since 2009. That says something about the standard of care. GPs refer patients to her because they trust the work.
How it works
Three things happen that most therapists don’t do. Together, they’re why the results last.
Before your session
You get access to a short video course explaining how your unconscious mind actually works. How habits form, why willpower alone doesn’t cut it, and what’s really going on when you keep doing the thing you don’t want to do. You walk in already understanding the playing field. Most people say this alone shifts something.
In the session
We use a combination of NLP, hypnotherapy, conversational techniques, metaphor and visualisation. Whatever fits you and the problem. You’re always wide awake and completely in control. Helen works quickly and practically. No lying on a couch counting backwards from ten.
After your session
Within 24 hours, your personalised resources appear in your private portal. Audio tracks, brain training recordings, technique reminders, practical guides, all built around what we worked on in your session. They’re yours to keep and use for life. This is how the change compounds over time.
What I help with
All of these are unconscious patterns. Which means all of them can be changed.
Anxiety & Panic
Overthinking, panic attacks, constant worry, social anxiety, performance anxiety. Anxiety is an unconscious behaviour. It can be stopped, not just managed.
Phobias & Fears
Fear of flying, spiders, needles, heights, driving, public speaking. Phobias are usually the easiest thing to fix. Often cleared in the very first session.
Quit Smoking or Vaping
Most people quit after the first session. Helen also makes sure the reasons you smoked have been dealt with, so you don’t just swap one habit for another.
Weight & Food
Emotional eating, food addiction, overeating, binge cycles. Helen has written an entire book on the seven things that drive weight issues. It’s not willpower. It never was.
Stress & Burnout
Chronic stress, work overwhelm, sleep issues, that feeling of never being able to switch off. Your biochemist (the one in your head, trained 100,000 years ago) thinks it’s a tiger. It isn’t. We let them know.
Confidence & Performance
Public speaking, exam nerves, sports performance, interview anxiety, leadership presence. We find the version of you that already knows how to do this, and put them in the driver’s seat.
Depression & Low Mood
Persistent low mood, lack of motivation, feeling stuck. Addressed alongside the anxiety or lifestyle patterns that often feed it. You don’t have to feel like this and it’s not who you are.
Children & Teenagers
Helen has worked with young people her entire career. Anxiety, fears, habits, confidence, school performance. Parent involvement is part of the process, because the changes a young person makes need support at home too.
Alcohol & Drinking
Reduce or quit drinking by changing the unconscious habit pattern behind alcohol. Most people find the urge to drink simply loses its hold after hypnotherapy and NLP.
Monthly Mind Coaching
Some people come once a month not because something is wrong, but because having a thinking partner for work, life and relationships is genuinely useful. We look at where your unconscious programming could use a tune-up.

30 years of working with people. 17 years changing minds.
I didn’t come to this work through a brochure. I came through 30 years of being in rooms with people who were struggling. Young people at risk, families in crisis, kids in care. Helping people was how I was raised and it’s never really stopped being what I do.
I first experienced NLP when I was working in a rural town with a group of teenage boys who were about to be excluded from the only high school in the area. A colleague did an NLP technique on me in ten minutes that resolved something I’d been carrying my whole life. I thought: if this works that fast, why on earth are we spending years in counselling? That question led me here.
I never finished the counselling course. I’m now studying neuroscience at university so I can keep understanding the brain behind the work I do every day. Honestly, I find it all fascinating. The unconscious mind is extraordinary once you start understanding it.
Real people, real results
“I’d had a fear of flying for fifteen years. I saw Helen once and flew to Sydney the following week. I genuinely couldn’t believe it. It felt too easy.”
“I smoked for 22 years. One session with Helen and I haven’t touched one since. What I love is she explained exactly why I smoked and what was happening. It all made sense.”
“What surprised me most was coming out of my sessions feeling like I’d been given tools I can use for the rest of my life. It wasn’t just about the anxiety. It was bigger than that.”
