Helen Yates
DIP Therapeutic Counselling, MBACP
Are you struggling at the moment and finding that you are going through a tough time? Are you hoping to work through some challenging issues and feelings to allow yourself to process and heal?
I’m Helen Yates and I’m a therapeutic Counsellor. I can offer you a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space to explore what’s troubling you. To feel heard and understood can feel empowering and give inner strength and resilience. Healing past traumas can lead to a more positive way of living with further understanding of yourself and your experiences. Opening yourself up to more meaningful experiences. Counselling can help to develop a more positive self-worth and self-confidence as well as having compassion to one self and understanding and experiencing more of who you are and how you would like to live your life to experience inner peace and fulfilment. To help to break down issues and situations which have been stressful and over whelming, allowing
difficulties to feel more manageable and offering clarity.
I have experience working with a range of presenting issues e.g., eating disorders, childhood trauma, anxiety and depression, addictions, attachment, bereavement, relationship difficulties, sexual abuse, body image issues, body dysmorphia, gender dysphoria, LGBTQ+ issues, neuro diversity, miscarriage, sexual issues, chronic illness and many more.
I offer short term and long term work. Short term work may involve a decision that needs to be made or exploring a distressing feeling or a repetitive thought or pattern. Longer term work may involve looking at a past trauma or childhood experiences, attachments or relationships and interactions. You may use the space how you wish to, leading the way, and I will be alongside you, supporting you along the way to find your own answers and come to your own solutions, conclusions and understandings.

Geoff Lamb MSc., BSc., Dip Psych, Dip Couples Counselling, Certified Psychosexual Therapist
Couple Counselling & Psychosexual Therapy
I am a qualified psychotherapist, couple counsellor and psychosexual therapist with nearly forty years’ experience. I offer one to one and couple sessions at the LifeCare clinic and online.
Individual Psychotherapy
People mostly come to therapy because something isn’t working in their lives. My approach is to help you explore what isn’t working in a way that focusses, not just on the problem itself, but on your response to the difficulties and challenges you’re experiencing. My aim is to enable you to access your own innate capacity to not only cope with whatever life throws at you, but to grow and achieve your full potential as a human being.
Couple Counselling
Living in a close relationship with another human being isn’t easy. The ‘honeymoon period’ comes to an end and you need to find a way of living with each other, deepening the relationship and allowing it to grow and develop. This is a challenge and couples either ‘learn to live with’ their unfulfilled needs or split up. I see relationship problems as a wakeup call, a sign that the relationship needs to grow and develop, although I recognise that the problems can be very painful. I emphasise the importance of communication in relationships, particularly when it comes to expressing and listening to our own and each other’s feelings and needs. Our need to be right can make it difficult to listen to our partner, whilst our reluctance to allow ourselves to be vulnerable can get in the way of expressing our needs. I create a safe space where both partners can be open with each other and help them to learn to create this for themselves.
Psychosexual Therapy
In my work as a psychosexual therapist, I focus on, not just the physical issues that couples and individuals experience around sex – Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, difficulties with orgasm or penetration etc., but also the emotional or psychological difficulties which can often underly these. The focus in sex is often either on ‘performance’ - being good enough to ‘satisfy’ your partner, or on the discharge of your own pent-up libido or sexual energy. By encouraging individuals and couples to focus more on their connection, both with themselves and their own body and with their partner and their body, I believe that sex can become a way of sharing both your body and your love with your partner.

Helen Brown Sports & Remedial Massage Therapy, Remedial Exercise, Life Coaching, Psychotherapy, Natural Energy Therapy
I am a Sports Massage Practitioner, Natural Energy Therapist, Psychotherapist, Life Coach, Personal Trainer, Rehabilitation Exercise Therapist and Lecturer. This gives me a wide scope of practice and the ability to provide treatments tailored to what you need.
My career in Therapy began 27 years ago when I first began practicing as a Sports Massage Practitioner. I progressed from clinical practice into establishing GP referral schemes in the Southwest. Here patients with long term injuries or illness could receive the support, advice, treatment and exercise they needed to aid their recovery or transistion to living with life altering illnesses or injuries.
I later branched into teaching as a lecturer with a leading Health and Fitness Training Company, sharing what I had learned from my 10 years in the industry. For 8 years I taught Sports Massage, Fitness and Personal Training courses until I established LifeCare Health, a place where I could bring everything together into a single facility.
Natural Energy Therapy
Having worked as a multi-discipline therapist for many years, I recognise that spiritual energy has an essential role in recovery/healing, wellbeing and enjoyment of living. It works to bring the mental, emotional and physical into balance, helps us find peace within and thereby improving the quality of day to day life. Working with the young and elderly, mums and mums-to-be, with those facing life-threatening illness or busy lives needing time out to recharge, Natural Energy Therapy works alongside current medical procedures and pharmacutical practices supporting side-effects, shocks and traumas.
Lifecoaching
Life coaching aims to help people identify habitual life patterns that may be holding a person back from becoming all they can be. It supports people on a journey of self discovery to their strengths and abilities which can include being happy and fullfilled at home or work, managing health conditions, reaching their full potental or achieving life ambitions.
Life Coaching helps you find the power within to confidently face difficult challenges and overcome emotional barriers.

Margaret Cavanna Level 3 Advanced EFT Practitioner, Reiki Master and member of the EFT International professional body.
EFT can support men and women in working through many situations to achieve greater wellbeing and contentment including:
* Stress and anxiety – personal or professional
* Times of transition – in relationships, work or life stages such as the menopause
* Depression or lack of motivation
* Dealing with difficult medical diagnoses or physical pain
* Releasing long-held patterns that hold us back
* Facing uncertain times – connecting more deeply with our inner wisdom to cope more positively, connecting with others and with the joy of living
EFT is known as ‘energy psychology’ as it combines both. You will be taught a sequence of tapping on several energy meridian points on the body mainly on the face and hands, whilst seated.
The practitioner will also guide you in using phrases relating to your situation to help release unwanted feelings and beliefs. Other techniques will be selected based on your needs and going at a pace that is comfortable for you.
You can then use the basic sequence any time, although it is generally helpful to have several guided sessions to work on deeper patterns.
First session: £60 Further sessions: £55 (60 minutes). Combination of EFT & Healing (75 minutes): £70. Concessions available. Initial 20 minute phone consultation: Free
