Helen Miller - Focus In

Counsellor and facilitator

My background
Over my career I have worked as a teacher, counsellor, facilitator and community worker in many different organisations, statutory and voluntary. I have worked all my life with people, enjoying being beside them as they go through their life’s challenges. I have worked with a huge variety of people, focusing on issues including, sexual abuse, drug and alcohol problems, relationships, depression, bereavement, family relationships as well as ongoing personal development. I now have the opportunity to use all the skills I have learnt and developed throughout my career to focus on providing therapeutic counselling and group facilitation in my own practice. I believe in people and their ability to reach their full potential and I feel I have the skills to help them do that.

Counselling
The counselling I provide is integrative, drawing on different models, holistic in nature and focuses on using methods that enable the person to develop the ability to live their life in the best way possible. My approach is tailored to the persons’ needs.

Group facilitation
I am a trained ‘Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities’ facilitator. This is a 13 week programme especially designed to help families and communities develop positive, violence-free life styles. I can also provide other personal development and parenting courses designed especially for the needs of a group.
