As well as an ICF qualified coach, I'm an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner and mum to two teenage boys. I have northern roots but have called Wiltshire home for 14 years.

In my earlier career, I worked in the charity sector; organising events, working with celebrities. It was fun and varied but what I loved most was the knowledge that I was helping people.

Hi, I’m Helen,

Why I do This Work

My own journey with grief began in 2014 when my mum lost her three year battle with cancer. I was 40, she was 70, and my boys were just 4 and 6. It shook my world and left me without my mum at a time when I still needed her so much. I then lost my dad during the pandemic and had to say goodbye to him dressed in PPE on a COVID ward. I won’t lie, it’s been tough.

Trying to grieve while supporting my children through their own emotions, working and leading a busy life was incredibly hard. I kept going, holding everything together on the outside, but inside I felt lost.

Bereavement has shaped me in ways I couldn’t have imagined. At 52 my husband says I’m a different person - and I feel that too. But that’s not a bad thing. I have made peace with my own loss and released the trauma, I have learnt what makes me happy and I feel confident and at peace.

It took me a while to get my sparkle back though and it’s why I’m so passionate about helping others find theirs. I am the support I wish I’d had- a calm, compassionate, understanding space where you can lighten the weight of your grief, regulate, reconnect with yourself, and work out what comes next.
