Welcome to Helen-Melissa Counselling and Psychotherapy
I offer a professional and confidential Counselling and Psychotherapy Service to individuals, couples and young people in Fareham, within easy reach of Gosport, Portsmouth and Southampton.
In-person, online video-chat or telephone therapy is available. If you would like to book an initial consultation or have any questions, please get in touch.
Are you feeling unhappy, anxious or stressed? Perhaps you need help to overcome depression, anxiety, panic attacks, are suffering low self-esteem or are experiencing relationship, family or work difficulties?
Whatever issue you may face, reach out to see how I can help. I offer a welcoming, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk through your problems and support to overcome your difficulties.
I am an experienced and fully qualified, Registered MBACP Counsellor and Psychotherapist. My private consulting room at The West Street Centre, Counselling & Psychotherapy, is located in central Fareham, near Gosport, Portsmouth and Southampton in Hampshire.
I will work with you to address any current difficulties you are facing and together we may also work through any unresolved issues from the past. As a Humanistic and Integrative Counsellor, I will draw upon a range of highly-effective therapy approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to meet your individual needs. In this way you can hope to gain the most from counselling and achieve real results that stay with you.
I am happy to offer a brief free telephone consultation to discuss any questions you may have, please contact me directly on 07881 743121. There is also the option of contacting me via email: hmcrew.counselling@outlook.com
An initial consultation is offered to all individuals and couples. This is the opportunity to explore what you would hope to gain from counselling and how together we will work towards that. Anything you wish to discuss will be handled with sensitivity and in complete confidence.
In addition to running a successful Private Practice, I worked as a NHS Counsellor. I counselled the staff of a large NHS Hospital and patients at a busy GP Surgery. Many of the people I help are referred to me via word of mouth and I counsel a large number of Local Government Agency workers. I also work with Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) organisations. I have a wealth of experience working with different age groups, helping many people overcome a wide range of issues.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I work in accordance with the Code of Ethics and Practice. My Practice is also registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and fulfills the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) May 2018.
How I can help
Counselling and psychotherapy offers the professional support we need when change feels too difficult to achieve alone. It can improve your relationships with others, increase your confidence and give you strategies to achieve goals and help you to develop your full potential. At its most effective therapy can be a life changing process, enabling people to feel more empowered, happier and fulfilled in their life.
