Helen Dalley

My sessions are supportive, friendly and tailored to the individual needs of each student. I provide a safe and encouraging space where students can explore challenges, identify goals and develop practical strategies to help them succeed both academically and personally.

Sessions may focus on areas such as motivation, confidence, managing stress and anxiety, organisation, time management, study habits and building resilience as well as setting SMART goals to make things feel more manageable and less overwhelming. Together, we can identify obstacles, set realistic goals and create achievable action plans that help students move forward with greater confidence.

Drawing on my training as a counsellor and my experience delivering wellbeing workshops, I use active listening, reflective questioning and evidence-based wellbeing techniques to help students develop self-awareness and problem-solving skills. My approach is collaborative, non-judgemental and strengths-based, helping students recognise their abilities and build on their successes.

I hold a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and have completed 121 supervised client hours across NHS, charity and private practice placements. I have also designed and delivered workshops on stress management, mindfulness, self-esteem and wellbeing for schools, charities and community groups. These have been delivered online and face-to-face. I am also a journalist by trade so I can provide help with journalism and writing sessions as and when needed, whether that's interviewing techniques or feature writing.

My aim is to help students feel more confident, motivated and equipped to achieve their goals while supporting their overall wellbeing. I look forward to welcoming you to my sessions!
