Embodied Clinical Psychology offers wellbeing support to adults through Psychological Therapy, Workshops and Retreats.
“I thought I was broken and needed fixing, but that wasn’t true. I was deeply hurt and needed healing. That’s a completely different concept.”
Life can be challenging, and we sometimes need a compassionate therapeutic space to work through what has happened to us.
Hello and Welcome
My name is Dr Helen Barrett. I am a Clinical Psychologist based in Cornwall seeing clients both face to face and online. My mission is to help people heal from difficult experiences, connect with themselves and their values, and thrive personally and professionally.
I know how tough life can be, which leads me to want to help others going through similar challenging circumstances. I have dedicated much of my life to learning and training in Clinical Psychology as well as incorporating understandings from Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Mindfulness.
I am dedicated to helping others who have been through difficult challenges. If you are interested in working together, or have any questions, please fill out my contact form.
What does it mean to “be embodied”?
To be embodied means to accept ourselves, our different parts and experience wholeness.
This looks like feeling connected to who you are (your Self), feeling at home in your body, feeling able to self-soothe when in distress, being able to identify, express and attend to inner needs as they come up.
It can be hard to find the right help when embarking on the therapy journey. Embodied Clinical Psychology offers a confidential, compassionate, and professional service.
Testimonials
"Helen has helped me move through a significant time of grief in my life; I lost someone close to me in traumatic circumstances and was stuck in my grieving process. Alongside this I had a number of profound difficulties due to childhood trauma and this was impacting all of my interpersonal relationships in a negative way. Through Helen's genuinely thoughtful support and guidance I have been able to navigate these difficulties and emerge with a far better understanding of myself, acceptance of my loss and a new set of tools to help me navigate future challenges. I cannot recommend Helen highly enough as a compassionate, professional and knowledgeable therapist; my life is richer for the experience."
Teri
“Helen always made me feel comfortable during therapy sessions. She was very professional and I felt it really was my time to speak. IFS therapy is definitely the right kind of therapy for me as I often feel very busy and noisy within, sometimes its hard to listen to my needs and organise my thoughts and emotions. This kind of therapy allows me to connect with that deeper part of me that's really hurting. This work is not easy and the beginning was uncomfortable trying to sit with difficult emotions but as time moved on I felt myself shift. Having a regular practice to return to became comforting and essential as opposed to uncomfortable. By the end I felt very connected with myself.”
