In private practice with Counselling for the Health of It, her primary theoretical approach uses Family Systems Theory as the core in understanding current personal dynamics. At the same time, Helena’s psychotherapy incorporates a Person Centred approach and is Solutions Focused. That means counsellor and client work in the client’s world, embracing the client’s holistic experience. With that, Helena is able to harness the wisdom of the client’s own mind/body connection. It is all a matter of awareness and doing “The Work.”
Helena’s areas of specialization include relationship problem advice, personal growth and anxiety. She is also trained in Tapping Therapy, aka Meridian Tapping and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).Tapping Therapy is a particularly effective modality that Helena is professionally certified in. Meridian Tapping is effective in changing limiting beliefs and/or behaviours that keep you from achieving your potential and the joy that springs from that freedom.
The principles in the books “The Four Agreements” and “The Fifth Agreement,” by Don Miguel Ruiz form central themes in her philosophy and psyco-educational handouts.
Helena’s repertoire of services includes:
- Individual Counselling & Personal Growth Coaching
- Relationship Problem Advice & Couples Therapy
- Grief and Loss Counselling
- Psychotherapy for Depression & Anxiety
- Anger & Stress Management
- Anxiety-FreeCircles to eliminate anxiety
- Meridian Tapping, aka Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)
- Conflict Resolution
- Managing Chronic Conditions including Chronic Pain

Counselling Therapy involves, amoung other things, deep listening. As Helena steps into your world, her education, professional skills training and personal clarity allows her to reflect your own wisdom back to you. This synergistic connection forms the wellspring for your healing and growth. Ultimately, counsellor and client(s) together form a collaboration of minds and hearts in a safe forum where effective, lasting change can take place.
