Hub Counsellors Helen, Fenella, Ella and David

Helen B

Hi, I'm Helen.

I've always been fascinated by people — why we do what we do, how our experiences shape us, and how patterns that once helped us survive can sometimes hold us back later in life.

As a counsellor, I offer a warm and genuine space where we can explore whatever has brought you to counselling. I work relationally and draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring my work to the individual rather than believing one approach fits everyone.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, loss, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I aim to help you better understand yourself, your experiences, and the choices available to you.

Alongside my counselling training, I have spent over 20 years supporting people through complex life challenges. This experience has reinforced my belief that people are often far stronger and more resilient than they realise — sometimes we just need a guide.

I am currently working from the Hub on Monday and Tuesday eveings with some day time session on friday

Fenella

My name is Fenella. I am a CPCAB‑accredited Level 4 trainee counsellor (TC‑L4), currently in my second year of training at the University of Winchester.

I offer a safe, calm, and welcoming space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I am warm, genuine, patient, and compassionate.

How I Work I work using a pluralistic approach, which means I tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs and goals. I draw on person‑centred therapy to offer empathy and understanding, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to explore patterns of thinking and behaviour, and psychodynamic approaches to gently consider how past experiences and relationships may be influencing your life today.

Areas of Interest I have a particular interest in supporting people experiencing ADHD and ADD, anxiety, depression, OCD, intrusive thoughts, stress, women’s issues, SEN parenting challenges, and relationship difficulties.

My aim is to offer a confidential, non‑judgemental, and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain greater understanding of yourself, and work towards positive change.

I work face to face from the Hub on Wednesday evenings, and I am also available at weekends and throughout the week for online and telephone sessions

Ella

Beginning counselling can feel like a big step. I aim to offer a warm, caring and respectful space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted for who you are.

I am a third-year trainee counsellor, currently studying Level 4 Therapeutic Counselling (CPCAB awarded). I work collaboratively, at your pace and in the direction that feels right for you. With empathy and without judgement, I hope to create a space where you can explore your experiences, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and consider what might help you move forward or relate to yourself and the world differently.

Alongside counselling, I have more than ten years’ experience teaching yoga, which has deepened my awareness of the connection between our emotional experiences, thoughts and bodies. I believe that developing greater awareness of these connections can help us bring different parts of ourselves and our experiences together, supporting greater understanding and acceptance. My own life experiences have given me an interest in past and present relationship dynamics, in the power of reframing life events and situations, and in the development of self-compassion.

I offer counselling sessions on Thursdays between 10am and 5.30pm.

David

I am a trainee counsellor currently completing my CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I work from a person-centred approach, meaning that you are at the heart of our work together. You can bring whatever feels important to you, at your own pace, in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space.

I believe in the importance of really listening and giving people the space to feel heard. I see myself as warm, compassionate and accepting, and believe that although people’s experiences may sometimes be similar, every person and every story is unique. For me, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to counselling.

You may want to explore self-esteem and confidence, anxiety, relationships, or changes in your life, whether they feel big or small. You may simply have something on your mind that you would like to talk through. Whatever you bring, I will listen without judgement and work alongside you to find your own way forward.

Before beginning my counselling journey, I spent 20 years working within an adoption service, supporting many people through different stages of their journey. I bring this experience, alongside my own life experiences, to my counselling practice.

I offer sessions face-to-face at the Hub in Westbury, online or by telephone. What matters most to me is finding what feels right for you
