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. These can just be part of the natural ups and downs of a couple relationship. But 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 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.
I’ve had a busy Couples Therapy practice for over 9 years and specialized in working solely online for the last 5 years.
My approach is inclusive, and I‘ve experience of working with couples from a range of sexual orientations, ages, ethnic backgrounds, spiritual and religious beliefs and with disabilities. I’ve worked with couples where there is a range of neurodiversity, including where one or both people have a diagnosis of ADHD. I welcome working with couples from different cultures and living in different countries.
As well as being a qualified and experienced Couples Therapist, I have over 30 years’ experience in working with adults as a Music Psychotherapist.
I was a Lead Arts Psychotherapist with a Mental Health NHS Trust for 7 years and have 15 years’ experience working in the NHS as a Music Psychotherapist with a diverse range of adults. My work has been in a variety of settings, including working abroad in very different cultures. And I now have over 15 years working in private practice.
This wealth of experience I bring to my work as a Couples Therapist.
