HELEN PROFILE.JPEG

Hi, I'm Helen

If you just want the basics, here's what you need to know.

 

For prospective clients, I guess the most relevant thing is that I am a long-established EFT Master Practitioner and a permanent student of the Enneagram.

​

I have now spent almost three decades teaching mental and emotional wellbeing but, prior to that, my background was predominantly in learning and development where I ultimately ended up working as a senior IT trainer in the corporate sector.

 

Since then, I have studied many different routes to emotional health and, over time, I have become qualified in various psychological methods and spiritual practices. â€‹

 

I am also: 

  • a Senior Accredited Member of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP)

  • a freelance instructor for Scottish Mental Health First Aid (SMHFA)

  • a registered teacher with the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS)

  • an EFT Training Consultant/Master Trainer of Trainers

  • a HeartMath Trainer

  • a Reiki Master â€‹

My Story

A few years ago, I was living my ideal working life!

 

Having used EFT to overcome significant childhood and adult trauma, I had pursued my dreams and become an internationally-recognised EFT trainer.  I had also discovered the Enneagram and had become increasingly passionate about sharing it. 

 

I was regularly writing and publishing my thoughts about my favourite subjects. I was speaking at conferences, guesting on podcasts, and delivering training worldwide.  It felt like life couldn’t get any better than this!

 

But slowly, gradually, everything changed.  Pressures and expectations in my personal life began to seep in, and I found myself compromising who I was at every turn.

​

Pressures and expectations - that's a nice way of putting it, isn't it?

​

The truth is that I was dealing with two narcissists - one was covert, and the other had full-blown Narcissistic Personality Disorder - and they were draining the life out of me.

​

Having come through so many challenges before, here I was again, experiencing significant emotional distress on an almost daily basis, and living in fearful anticipation of what might happen next.

​

The knock-on effect was that I was finding it increasingly difficult to 'put myself out there', to be seen on the world stage.  I stopped promoting my business and withdrew into anonymity.

 

What had been a vibrant, colourful life began to fade, leaving me to navigate a world where, without fully realising it, I was becoming increasingly disconnected from my true self.

​

There is a simple, fundamental truth - joy comes from living authentically - and yet, here I was, living in a stressful situation that was moving me further and further away from being who I really am.  

 

When you’re surviving but not thriving, life becomes dull and routine, lacking that much-needed sense of joy or fulfilment.

 

If you're not being your true self, doing what you are meant to be doing, you experience a deep and increasing sense of emptiness that gnaws away beneath the surface.

 

You're living without passion and purpose, and depriving yourself of genuine happiness and success.
​

But, I had EFT and the Enneagram and, if they teach us anything, it's that 1) it is always possible to recover from intense stress, and 2) there is always a deep well of vibrant potential just waiting to be tapped into.

 

I had never lost sight of that knowledge, but I had allowed myself to get seriously distracted from it.

 

It was time to ditch the narcissists. 

​

There is a saying that when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than our fear of making a change, that's when we find our wings.

 

Not only could I no longer continue with the pain and discomfort of not being authentically me, I also had both the tools and the expertise to turn my stressful situation around.

 

It was time to rediscover those wings, and to get back to doing what I love, and what I do best! 

​

While I still offer therapy sessions, my mission now is to help others to discover (or rediscover!) their wings so that they can move beyond challenges, and pave their own path to freedom and success.

 

When you know yourself, accept yourself, and understand your potential, you can embrace the sheer joy that comes from living authentically.

 

It is my belief that, together, we can inspire each other to reach new heights, and be amazed by what we can achieve.

​​​​​

Thank you for visiting.  I hope we have a chance to meet, and work together, very soon.
