Hello. I'm Helen

I’m an artist, a business owner, a mentor, and a woman who has rebuilt her life from the inside out.

By choice, I live in rural West Wales, close to the sea and the quiet — two things that taught me how to breathe again.

 

My path here wasn’t clean or glamorous.

I originally trained in psychology, then spent years working for the Home Office, trying to fit myself into a life that looked respectable but felt entirely wrong in my body.

 

Eventually, the truth caught up with me.

 

I had a breakdown.

Three weeks in hospital.

Two years slowly building myself back together... into who I knew to be the real me to be.

 

It wasn’t pretty.

But it was honest.

And it showed me what I had been refusing to see:

I was a creative woman forcing myself into a 9–5 box that was never meant for me.

 

So I let it all go — the managerial role, a good salary, the pension, the identity people understood — and I chose the thing that had been waiting for me all along: creativity.

 

It was messy, and brave, and the most right thing I have ever done.

 

And in the years since — 25 of them now — I’ve worked with many extraordinary people.

Women who were talented but self-doubting.

Women who had something inside them they couldn’t quite reach yet.

Women who just needed someone to see them clearly and remind them of what was already there.

 

I’ve watched them build their creative practices, their businesses, their confidence, their sense of self.

And every time, something in me lights up.

That’s still where I find my purpose.

 

If you’re craving honesty, connection, support that doesn’t patronise you, and a space where your creativity and your inner world are both taken seriously — I’m here.

And if you feel like I might be someone you can trust with your next step, let’s talk.
