Helen Cobb

Therapy online London- and UK-wide | in-person sessions in Central London & Tunbridge Wells 

Hello, my name is Helen Cobb (BA Hons , Dip. Couns, M麻豆原创, NCPS), and I am a highly experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor providing discreet, tailored therapy for professionals, executives, and individuals navigating complex personal and professional challenges.

With over 10 years of experience in the NHS and leading charities across London and Kent, I have worked extensively with high-achieving individuals who face stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, and major life transitions. My clients often include business leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals who need a private, reflective space to process emotions, gain clarity, and enhance emotional resilience.

At Healing Horizons, I offer a calm, confidential, and highly personalised therapeutic experience, allowing you to explore your thoughts and emotions with a structured, results-focused approach.

My Approach

I use an integrative model, drawing from a range of psychological approaches to create a bespoke therapy experience for each client. These include:

Transactional Analysis (TA) 鈥� Understanding unconscious patterns in relationships and communication

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) 鈥� Managing high-performance stress and breaking unhelpful thinking cycles

Psychodynamic Therapy 鈥� Exploring deeper emotional influences and past experiences

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) & Mindfulness 鈥� Cultivating self-awareness and emotional balance

My expertise includes working with clients facing:

High-functioning anxiety & stress management

Executive burnout & work-life balance challenges

Relationship & family conflicts (including high-profile separations)

Childhood trauma & emotional wounds

Loss, bereavement, and identity shifts

Self-esteem, confidence & imposter syndrome

 Major life transitions (career changes, midlife adjustments, retirement planning)

If you are navigating personal or professional pressures and need a therapist who understands the unique demands of success, I offer a discreet and highly skilled space for you to explore your concerns. 

 30-minute in-depth telephone consultation

I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation to explore your needs and ensure we are the right fit. This is an opportunity to discuss your goals and concerns in a confidential setting. Many of my clients are used to high-performance environments where self-reflection is often deprioritised鈥攖his call is the first step in recalibrating your emotional well-being.

 50-minute comprehensive assessment session

Your first full session is a 50-minute private consultation, designed to:

Gain a deeper understanding of your experiences and psychological patterns

Define clear objectives for therapy, whether short-term strategic support or long-term self-development

Introduce therapeutic techniques suited to your individual needs

Provide an initial experience of my approach before committing to ongoing work

This highly personalised assessment allows us to establish a framework for our sessions, ensuring that your time in therapy is efficient, structured, and tailored to your lifestyle and ambitions.

I work exclusively with a select number of clients to maintain a high level of focus and care. If you feel I may not be the right therapist for you, I can refer you to other experienced professionals who align with your specific requirements.

I offer mid-morning and afternoon sessions, which are generally the easiest to book. I also provide online sessions for flexibility.

My own schedule is limited to ensure I can give each client focused, high-quality therapy. Where appropriate, I may also be able to refer you to other trusted counsellors I work with, so you can access support without compromise.

Beneath achievement, many people feel a quiet unease 鈥� a sense that something鈥檚 missing or out of sync. My role is to help you explore what鈥檚 beneath the surface, so you can live with greater clarity, connection, and emotional freedom.

Through my practice, Healing Horizons, I provide a calm, confidential space where you can slow down, make sense of what鈥檚 happening, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may feel lost or overwhelmed.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-achieving professionals in their 30s and 40s who appear to have it all together, yet internally feel anxious, disconnected, or uncertain about what they truly want. Therapy offers a chance to pause, understand these patterns, and create lasting change from the inside out.

My approach is integrative, blending Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and parts work inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS). Together, we explore the different parts of you 鈥� the one that pushes forward, the one that doubts, the one that longs for peace 鈥� and work towards greater harmony and self-acceptance.

With over 10 years of experience in the NHS and leading mental health charities across London and Kent, I bring warmth, curiosity, and psychological depth to my work. Whether you鈥檙e facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, burnout, or work-related stress, I offer therapy that goes beyond surface-level coping.

Managing symptoms can be like placing a plaster over a gaping wound 鈥� it might help for a while, but eventually the plaster comes off. My focus is on helping you understand and heal what lies beneath, so real change can take place.

Therapy with me isn鈥檛 about quick fixes 鈥� it鈥檚 about creating emotional depth, self-understanding, and an inner steadiness that helps you feel more connected and alive in your everyday life.

At Healing Horizons, I offer one-to-one counselling and longer-term therapy, both in person in Tunbridge Wells and online, providing flexibility and accessibility from the comfort of your own space.

My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on a range of therapeutic models to suit your individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. I incorporate elements of:

Transactional Analysis (TA) 鈥� to explore patterns in relationships and communication

Psychodynamic Therapy 鈥� to understand how early experiences shape who you are today

Parts work (inspired by Internal Family Systems) 鈥� to help you reconnect with and heal the different aspects of yourself

I work with adults experiencing:

Relationship challenges (conflict, breakups, communication difficulties, toxic patterns)

Anxiety and panic attacks

Depression and low mood

Work-related stress, burnout, and overwhelm

Low self-esteem and confidence issues

Trauma and emotional neglect (including childhood experiences and PTSD)

Loss and bereavement (grief, identity loss, or life transitions)

Major life changes (career uncertainty, midlife reflections, redundancy, or relationship shifts)

Identity and self-discovery

My clients often describe therapy as a place where they can finally stop 鈥渉olding it all together鈥� and begin to make sense of what鈥檚 underneath. Our work goes deeper, helping you to understand, heal, and move towards a more grounded and connected sense of self. If you鈥檙e feeling stuck, anxious, or uncertain about your direction, therapy can help you find clarity, emotional balance, and a renewed sense of confidence in who you are.

When you first get in touch, you will be offered a free 30-minute consultation, either via Zoom or telephone. This relaxed conversation gives you the chance to talk about what has brought you to therapy, ask any questions, and get a sense of how I work. It鈥檚 an opportunity to explore whether my approach feels like the right fit for you before booking a full session.

The next step is agreeing a regular weekly session slot, providing consistent, dedicated time to focus on your emotional well-being, personal growth, and the challenges you may be facing.

Your first full session is a 50-minute mental health assessment, which serves as the foundation for our work together. During this session, we will:

Explore your personal history, experiences, and current challenges

Identify the areas you would like to focus on in therapy and your goals for change

Discuss how I work and which therapeutic approach may best support you

Begin to create a framework for ongoing sessions that is tailored to your needs

The assessment session provides clarity, direction, and a supportive starting point for therapy. Each session after this lasts 50 minutes, giving you a regular space to reflect, understand patterns, and build greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and confidence in navigating both work and personal life.

I work exclusively online via secure video sessions (usually Zoom), providing fully remote therapy for clients across the UK. I specialize in integrative therapy, supporting clients who prefer the convenience and privacy of online sessions. My practice offers flexible scheduling, with therapy tailored to your individual needs.

As a part of my practice, I collaborate with other therapists, which allows for some flexibility in availability. This means I can offer various times to suit different schedules, ensuring a personalized approach to your therapy experience.

I prioritize providing high-quality, professional care in a secure and confidential online environment. Whether you're seeking short-term support or long-term therapy, you can expect consistant support. 

Please get in touch to discuss availability and see how we can work together. I look forward to hearing from you and supporting your mental health and well-being."

Starting therapy is a courageous step鈥攐ften, we come to therapy when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. It could be due to stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, or difficult life transitions. My role is to support you in navigating these challenges, providing a space for clarity, healing, and growth.

I offer online integrative therapy via secure video sessions, providing flexibility for clients across the UK. My practice is fully remote, making it accessible and convenient for those who prefer the privacy of home-based therapy. I work with individuals seeking support for a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and relationship difficulties.

Therapy is not just about understanding our thoughts鈥攊t鈥檚 about feeling and processing emotions, recognizing patterns, and working through past hurts. I help you bring unconscious thoughts and feelings into the conscious, allowing you to gain clarity and insight into the issues that may have been holding you back. My approach is client-centered, compassionate, and non-judgmental, offering a safe space for you to explore your concerns at your own pace.

In our work together, I take a gentle, yet challenging approach. I may ask questions or reflect on patterns in your behavior or emotions, helping you explore things you might not have noticed before. I also integrate somatic awareness into our sessions鈥攕ometimes, what our body says can reveal more than our words alone. Whether you are more left-brained and fact-oriented, or you feel more connected to your emotions and creativity, I tailor my approach to suit you.

Healing is a process that involves nurturing both the mind and body. Together, we will work to bring awareness to areas that need healing, supporting you on your journey toward greater emotional well-being and personal growth.         

In my therapy practice, I offer a compassionate, safe space where clients can explore their challenges, gain clarity, and reconnect with their authentic selves. My integrative approach combines Transactional Analysis (TA), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and principles of mindfulness and self-compassion.

I work with you to understand the patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and how they influence your relationships and daily life. This approach is particularly helpful for those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, or relationship difficulties. Together, we鈥檒l identify unhelpful patterns and work toward healthier, more compassionate ways of thinking and interacting.

Transactional Analysis (TA) helps us understand how we relate to ourselves and others by exploring the Parent, Adult, and Child aspects within us. We鈥檒l examine how these inner voices affect your reactions and relationships, helping you develop more balanced and authentic ways of engaging with the world.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) focuses on working with different parts of yourself鈥攚hether it鈥檚 the inner critic, the wounded part, or the protector鈥攖o integrate them in a compassionate, healing way. By understanding and healing these parts, you can achieve greater self-awareness and emotional balance.

A key influence in my practice comes from Tara Brach and Rick Hanson, whose work emphasizes mindfulness, Radical Acceptance, and cultivating self-compassion. These practices support you in embracing both your strengths and vulnerabilities, laying the foundation for lasting healing and personal growth.

Many clients share that they feel deeply heard and supported, and leave our sessions feeling more equipped to navigate life鈥檚 challenges. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or personal growth, I work with you to create meaningful change and healing in a non-judgmental, empathetic space where you can rediscover your sense of self.

I offer a free 30 consultation online or telephone to help us get to know each other and discuss how therapy can support you. During this consultation, we鈥檒l talk about your current challenges, goals for therapy, and what you hope to achieve. This is also a chance for you to ask any questions about the therapy process and to see if we鈥檙e a good fit to work together.

In the first session, we will go through a mental health assessment form to establish the foundations of our work. This will help me understand your mental health history and current concerns. We鈥檒l also review the confidentiality agreement and go through the contract to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident with the process moving forward.

Session Rates: My session rates start from 拢75.00 per session, and sessions are paid weekly.
