I’m Helen Mason, a fully qualified, registered and experienced couples therapist, based in Bristol. All the sessions I offer are online and I have done additional training to work online as a therapist.
From my own experience of being in relationship, I know that difficult issues inevitably arise at times. When the issues were overwhelming, I eventually learnt that with the right support and willingness to work, we could find richer ways of relating and being. This awareness inspired me to train and work as a couples therapist.
I’ve had a busy Couples Therapy practice for over 10 years and specialised in working solely online for the last 6 years. As well as being a qualified and experienced Couples Therapist, I have over 30 years’ experience as a Music Psychotherapist working mostly with adults.
I was a Lead Arts Psychotherapist within a Mental Health NHS Trust for 7 years and have 15 years’ experience working in the NHS supporting adults with their mental health. My work has been in a variety of settings, including working abroad in a very different culture. I now have over 15 years of working in private practice.
This diverse wealth of experience I bring to my work as a Couples Therapist.
My approach is inclusive, and I work with LGBTQ couples and couples from a range of ages, ethnic backgrounds, spiritual and religious beliefs and with various disabilities. I welcome working with couples from different cultures and living in other countries and couples in a bi-cultural relationship. I’ve worked with couples where there is a range of neurodiversity, including where one or both people have ADHD or ADHD and Autism.
I work in a non-judgemental, confidential and compassionate way. With my sensitive, empathic listening, balanced awareness and professional experience, I help you both to find your way through challenges. The range of methods I use are finely tuned to suit your particular needs and together with your willingness to engage with this work, openings can emerge for more harmonious, satisfying and loving relating.
