Helen Ferguson Therapy

Welcome

I’m so glad you’re here.

Take a Breath. You Found a safe space

I’m not going to fill this space with clinical jargon and professional titles (scroll down if that’s what you need – they’re there).
What matters is YOU – and whether you feel seen, safe and supported enough to take the next step in your healing.
Specialist Trauma Therapist Helen Ferguson

My Mission

I’m Not the stereotypical therapist. No “therapy voice,” No endless note taking while you talk into the void. No scripts. No Formulas. 

 

Instead, I show up as a whole human, present with you. I listen deeply, I notice what your nervous system is communicating, and I walk alongside you as you move through the experiences that have shaped you. 

Because therapy isn’t really about talking (although yes, we do some of that). It’s about connection, attunement, and creating the conditions where healing finally feels possible.

My path here

My life as a therapist began over two decades ago, after I first qualified as a mental health nurse. In the early years I felt most at home working with children – especially those who had experienced deep trauma and those in the care system – helping them find safety and expression while supporting their carers to create healing environments.
 
That path naturally grew into supporting adults, particularly those carrying the weight of childhood and complex trauma. Today I work with children, young people and adults – each with their own story, each deserving a safe and compassionate place to heal.
speech marks quote

I will never simply tell you that you have to do something. I'm here to empower you. I'll invite you, explain how and why, and together we'll create a path from chaos to coping to calm

speech marks quote

I am an academic but a real person, I'm highly qualified but fun, I'm soft yet I challenge, I'm organised yet have a 'freedom' corner of chaos. I'll listen and I'll talk

Who I Am

I’m Helen – a therapist, a guide, and fellow human.
I live in France with my husband ‘Fergs’ and my loyal canine co-therapist, Lyla, who keeps me grounded, makes sure I never miss a delivery, and often reminds my clients of the power of simple presence. 
 
I am deeply connected to the sea and  Mediterranean life. I love long walks, meaningful conversations, laughter, and a good glass of wine at the weekend. I can hold immense chaos in the therapy space with calm and care – but serve me coffee in the wrong mug and you might catch one of my more dramatic facial expressions!
 
That’s the point: I’m a therapist, but I’m also fully human. Warm, fun, reflective, nurturing  – and deeply committed.

26 years experience across mental health, trauma, attachment and integrative medicine.

You don’t have to stay trapped in the impact of what has happened to you. There is another way forward – one where your nervous system, body and heart feel safe enough to begin to heal. 

If what I’ve shared here resonates, I invite you to book a free, no obligation consultation. It’s a gentle way to meet, ask questions, and see if working together feels like the right next step.
