Helena gained her Level 7 Postgraduate Dyslexia Assessment Certificate from Canterbury Christ Church University and works as a Specialist Dyslexia Assessor. 

As well as working with dyslexic individuals, Helena is a qualified integrative counsellor with a particular passion for supporting young people. With the growing awareness of the impact of neurodiversity on emotional wellbeing, she recognises the close connection between counselling and assessing young people with dyslexia — particularly where confidence and self-esteem may have been affected by the challenges these differences can bring. Her combined background in assessment, education and counselling enables her to take a compassionate, engaging and holistic approach that supports both the emotional wellbeing and learning needs of young people.

Outside of work, Helena enjoys walking by the sea near her home on the Kent coast, finding it a valuable source of calm and balance.
