Helen Chaloner

Counsellor

I have worked in HR for many years and have developed extensive relationships with a diverse range of people and it is my ability to empathise and connect with people which has led me to this career change. I also have considerable experience of the impact of change on an individual and other work related issues and work stress.

I am qualified to a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. As part of my commitment to continuing professional development (CPD) I am committed to ongoing learning through courses, podcasts and reading. This allows me to integrate other approaches and techniques into my work and to maintain professional standards. I am a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy)

Colin Steele

Counsellor

I was motivated to train as a Counsellor as a result of my own experiences of seeking out and engaging in counselling and the transformative effect it had on my own mental wellbeing and relationships. I can therefore empathise with clients about what a big step it can seem to arrange and engage in that first conversation.

I have experience of working with a wide range of clients and have supported clients with a range of needs including bereavement, relationship issues, identity issues and mental health concerns. I am qualified to a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma and am a member of the BACP. My main approach is person-centred, but I adapt my provision to the needs of the client.

I would also like to say that Helen is an absolutely amazing Counsellor so would appreciate if you could let the “powers that be” know just how great she is.’’

Our Therapy

With You Every Step of the Way

Blackwater Therapy can work with you - wherever you are in life right now, whatever's going on for you right now - whether that means tackling difficult issues, implementing change or practising mental health maintenance.

Confidentiality is a core pillar of counselling. Unless any information shared would put you or others at risk of harm, all conversations between counsellors and clients are strictly confidential in line with the BACP Ethical Framework.

We know how hard it is to take the first step and reach out for help, and we promise to make this as easy as possible. Please feel free to contact the team to arrange an informal chat and agree on a time that works for you to talk through any issues that are currently impacting your life.
