Helena Pickin DHP

I am a mum to two teenagers and two furbabies, partner, step-mum to another teenager, closet witch (maybe not so closet!) and perfectly imperfect woman with a big heart, lots of energy and a passionate yearning to give something back!

I have always been a little bit sensitive (quirky!), or rather highly sensitive (very quirky)! Fear of loud noises or violence, scratchy fabrics, uncomfortable around too many people, sensing other people’s emotions as well as my own! It was only until I experienced coaching and rediscovered my spirituality, that I realised what this sensitivity really meant, not only to me but to others as well.

My previous career as a successful pharmacist and senior leader left me feeling unhappy, lost and unfulfilled. During this time, I trained as a coach and had my eyes opened to the possibilities that coaching can offer, both in myself and others. I found myself, and with it, the confidence to be a little bit brave and allow my true self to shine through! It also kindled the desire to help women like me do the same! 

I have since qualified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Practitioner & Meditation Instructor, as well as returning to practise part-time as a Clinical Pharmacist in Primary Care for the NHS. 

​

I am incredibly passionate about women's mental health and use all of my skills to support you to manage your mental wellbeing, in addition to helping you achieve your goals and dreams!

​

Having experienced my fair share of life's challenges  - depression & anxiety through most of my adult life, divorce, losing my mum to cancer and now the perimenopause, I honestly feel like it is my life purpose to help women like me - introverted, empathic, highly sensitive and also perimenopausal!

​

My favourite part of what I do is watching you, my clients, grow and blossom into the amazing women you are meant to be, letting go of the things that hold you back, reaching your full potential and creating your best possible life! It is a huge honour and privilege to be part of that process!

Let me help you reignite the belief in yourself and support you to follow your dreams so you can achieve amazing things and become your best self.

Every flower is beautiful and unique, just like you.  

And as a unique individual, you deserve a personally tailored approach to inspire you to blossom into the beautiful woman you are meant to be.

And this all starts with a visit to the beautiful and natural surroundings of The Old Farmhouse, where we will explore your deepest needs and desires. Through my signature programme, The Protea Approach, I will hold space and walk alongside you to find balance, rediscover your confidence and create the life that you truly deserve.

Through years of training and experience with some amazing clients, I have blended my skills in coaching, hypnotherapy, reiki and meditation into my own unique and simple brand of support. Together, we will agree on the perfect blend of these services for your individual needs and make a plan over a time period that suits you and your lifestyle. 

​

I strongly believe that you inherently know the answers to every question or challenge you are experiencing, even if they may be hidden deep inside you or obscured from view.

​

We will work closely together to assess what areas of your life needs the most attention in terms of change or improvement, breaking it down into manageable-size chunks that are achievable for you. We will work at a pace that you choose, although I may encourage you to move a little faster if I feel it will benefit you. I will offer you honest and open feedback and celebrate with you, those moments of inspiration, revelation and recognition when you realise what you are capable of achieving.

​

You will learn to set healthy boundaries & goals, practise meaningful self-care and master your inner thoughts allowing you to take back control of your life, so you can thrive and not just survive.

​

I bring an individualised and wholehearted approach to everything I do, and will guide you to reconnect with your head and heart in a way that allows you to fulfil your dreams and live a balanced, wholehearted and happy life.

There may be tears and laughter along the way but I promise, it will be so worth it!

If this resonates with you, your first step is to arrange your “Well Being Check In” so that we can chat about YOUR needs and desires and where YOU would like to flourish.
