She also provides consultancy for a range of issues which include depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, attachment problems, grief and loss, and life changes. She initially worked for a number of years in high schools with adolescents before establishing her own practice and so has a strong interest in parenting and families. Helen has been involved in sex therapy for over 4 years. She believes in finding solutions which people can maintain in their often busy lives, and uses a range of approaches, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Narrative therapy. Confidentiality is paramount, and she is accountable to the Code of Ethics of both NZAC and the Family Court.
