# Helen Gibbs - The Compassionate Crone

Helen Gibbs is an online counsellor and psychotherapist based in Chichester, specialising in anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm. She offers a distinctly unconventional approach to therapy, blending traditional counselling with Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping), coaching, and intuitive guidance.

Rather than following conventional therapeutic models, Helen creates a collaborative space where clients reconnect with their inner wisdom at their own pace. Her work is grounded in lived experience—she has navigated narcissistic abuse, breast cancer, and significant life transitions—which informs her deeply empathetic, practical approach.

Helen primarily works with women who feel things deeply: those experiencing midlife transitions, menopause, overwhelm, or quiet struggles with identity and change. She also supports men seeking more honest, deeper therapeutic engagement. Her ideal clients are individuals for whom traditional therapy hasn't resonated, who value authenticity over surface-level solutions.

What distinguishes her practice is the integration of real-world experience with professional training, creating sessions that are responsive and intuitive rather than prescriptive. She never tells clients what to do; instead, she offers gentle suggestions and holds space for genuine healing to unfold. Her sessions can touch into the spiritual dimension when appropriate and client-led.

Available entirely online with optional in-person sessions by arrangement, Helen's work prioritises depth, integrity, and meaningful, lasting change grounded in self-trust and compassion.
