ABOUT AUSTEN PSYCHOLOGY

Hi there,
I’m Helen

My approach

My diverse and extensive experience allows me to effectively address and tackle all client’s concerns and underlying issues.

I look to generate positive dynamic changes amongst my patients, to equip them with the tools they need to manage life’s challenges, with a strong focus on health and wellbeing.

Combining my client-centred approach with a kind, compassionate nature, my vision is to facilitate a space where all patients feel comfortable, safe and reassured.

Passionate and committed to my work, I’m constantly looking for new ways to assist client’s in better managing their life independently.

I believe my professionalism, nurturing character and goal-orientated sessions have underpinned all of my client’s success to date.

I work with both adults and children, either separately, or as family structures. Through psychology, children can build their resilience, learn to effectively manage their emotions and become well-rounded individuals. Family psychology involves working to create healthy family dynamics and ensure effective and appropriate communication between parties.
