Brighton And Hove > Hove > BN : 3 > Helen Armstrong
Name:   Helen Armstrong
  
I practise at:  
Hove, BN3
 
Phone:   01273 261052
 
   Prof. membership:  
BACP  -  British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy  


I have experience & special interest in: anxiety, bereavement, child related issues, creativity, cultural issues, depression, eating disorders, general counselling, personal development, relationships and stress

My theoretical approach is integrative, incorporating psychodynamic, TA, CBT and attachment theory.

Working with adults for short term work I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In long term work, where the process allows time to explore earlier influences that affect later beliefs and actions, the focus is especially looking at understanding recurring patterns of behaviour.

Qualifications & Training
Advanced Diploma in Counselling & Therapy, 1997

Experience
With 20 years experience in counselling, I have been able to work with a wide variety of people. I have worked as a carers support worker helping carers to deal with the stresses of taking care of loved ones, and have used an earlier art training to offer courses using art for self knowledge with groups of carers. I also have experience of working with asylum seekers.

Fees
Per session: £40, first session £10. Subsequent fees are on a sliding scale, which we will agree on at the first session. I can offer a few low cost places to clients who are on benefits or low wages.
