Helen Quin

Hello there. I’m Helen (they/them) and I am a queer, neurodivergent, non-binary therapist working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, partners and groups.  My practice is existentially informed and based around you being the expert in your own experience and me helping you to be curious about it.  I am Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity affirmative. 

My intention is to offer a reflective and confidential space and relationship focused on safety, where you can slow down, where you can talk, think, feel and be however you want to be. Together we can work out what you might need from our time together and find ways for you to feel more fulfilled, authentic and at home in yourself and in your body. 

I take a trauma-informed, consensual, anti-racist and anti-oppressive approach to my work.  I hold in my awareness that our experiences and feelings are influenced by many psychological, biological and social factors including current and intergenerational cultural, racial, political and systemic oppression and trauma. 

I hold respect, kindness and authenticity at the centre of my work and aim to provide an opportunity for you to take up space, to be seen and to be heard. Through the therapeutic relationship that we develop together and the tools that you can take from our sessions into other parts of your life, my hope and intention is that you can find healing.

I look forward to meeting you. 

Practice description

I offer both short-term and long term open-ended weekly and fortnightly therapy. I primarily work face to face in a comfortable, plant filled, 3rd floor room on Church Road in Hove. I also have access to a nearby ground floor room if stairs are an accessibility issue. I also work online via Zoom. I have a self-assessed sliding scale for payment and sessions cost between £55 and £65 for individuals. I have a limited number of concessionary slots priced at £35 for individuals. I charge £80 for partners. 

My first session

This session is an opportunity for us to decide if we would be a good fit. You can ask any questions you may have and there is no obligation to continue if we don't feel right.
