Helen Crocombe

I currently have availability within my practice on Monday's, Tuesday's and Friday's during the working day and Tuesday evening.

I am a psychodynamic couple and individual psychotherapist who has worked with people from all backgrounds and at different stages of life to build stronger and more fulfilling relationships with their partners and families.

My approach to relationship counselling is grounded in psychodynamic principles, which means we’ll explore the unhelpful patterns and beliefs that may be shaping the way you connect with each other. Whether you're facing difficulties with communication, conflict, anxiety, the aftermath of an affair, or adjusting to having your first baby, sexual problems, or other relational challenges, I can help you gain insight into your behaviours and relating patterns.

I also work with individuals to provide a dedicated space for you to explore your personal difficulties with relationships, gain self-awareness, and address behaviours, and patterns that may be holding you back. 

 I work with individuals to:

- Explore problems, emotions, and past traumatic experiences

- Encourages greater self-awareness and insight into the root causes of distress

- Support change by helping you understand how past experiences influence present behaviour

- Work towards more emotional resilience

Together, we’ll work towards gaining a deeper understanding of your partnership and explore ways to build a more satisfying and meaningful connection with each other. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings and work towards positive changes in your relationships. I work collaboratively with you, at your pace, walking alongside you, trying to help you build deeper and warmer connections with your partner.
