Health and wellbeing including therapies, Socialising, companionship and friendship,

Hello, my name is Helen.

I help people to remain independent and content in their lives.

I offer social and practical support, whether that’s getting out and about to a singing group, to reconnect socially and make friends, or for practical help with the shopping, meal planning, or trips to the doctor or physical therapist.

I am a fully trained and experienced counsellor and support worker with over 15 years of experience, so I am used to working with people who are struggling with memory problems, anxiety, depression, agarophobia, or other mental illness.

I work in a person-centred way. This means finding out what works best for you – whether that’s bringing my little dogs along to walk with us, introducing you to my friendly pony, or doing things together like cooking, art, or singing.  I can also help you research local groups relating to your interests which we can attend together and make new friendships.

We can build a good relationship together to help you go out and socialise, and enable you to do the things that you enjoy doing, bringing back confidence, enjoyment, and a quality of life.

I am based in South Somerset and am willing to travel to you.  Please get in touch and we can explore how I can help. Tel: 07970 580 933 / Email: helenmarysesmith@tiscali.co.uk
