Helen Bowden Psychotherapy & Counselling
When life feels overwhelming, you don't have to face it alone
Supportive, professional counselling in a safe and confidential setting.
About Me
Hello, I'm Helen Bowden, an integrative psychotherapist (MSc), Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and a member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I'm also a registered nurse and public health practitioner (BSc Hons). That means I understand how closely mental and physical health are linked.
I have a particular interest in women's health, including maternal mental health and the emotional impact of perimenopause and menopause. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties and neurodiversity.
I offer a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about whatever is going on for you.
My sessions can be in-person, online or by phone, so you can have therapy from home, at a time that fits around work and family. Taking the first step can feel daunting and you don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.
How I can help
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or simply aware that something doesn’t feel quite right. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy — sometimes it’s about having space to pause, reflect, and be heard.
I offer counselling and psychotherapy to support you with a wide range of emotional and life challenges, including:
Perimenopause, menopause, fertility and women's health
Anxiety, stress, and feeling overwhelmed
Low mood and depression
Trauma and difficult life experiences
Relationship and family difficulties
Addiction and unhealthy coping patterns
Life transitions and identity changes
Neurodiversity
My approach is collaborative and integrative, meaning I adapt the way we work to suit you as an individual. Therapy is not about giving advice or telling you what to do, but about helping you better understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional responses, so you can make choices that feel right for you.
I aim to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, explore difficult feelings, and develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and self-compassion.
