Meet Counsellor Helen Allen

Helen brings a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for helping others to her role as a counsellor. With over 20 years of experience working with children and families, including nine years as a nanny and maternity nanny, she has developed a deep understanding of the challenges and joys that come with family life.

The journey to becoming a counsellor wasn’t a straightforward one for Helen, but rather a path filled with signposts that eventually led her here. As she approached 40, despite having a happy and healthy family, Helen found herself feeling a sense of dissatisfaction. Life was good on the surface, but something was missing. This led her to reflect on how counselling had been a crucial support for her in the past, and she began to explore the idea of training as a counsellor.

Worrying about whether she was too old to start over, and how she would manage the academic challenges, especially being dyslexic, Helen took the plunge anyway. To her surprise, she quickly discovered a passion she didn’t know she had. The more she learned, the more she realized that working as a person-centered counsellor was the perfect fit for her.

Helen is grateful every day for the opportunity to meet people at their lowest and support them on their journey to a better place. She understands firsthand the significant life changes that come with having a family and how overwhelming it can be. As part of the Enigma Wellness team, she offers a safe and supportive space for you to pause, gain clarity, and find your way forward.
