Counsellor and Trainee Psychotherapist: Helen Lister

Hi, I’m Helen (she/they).

I am a qualified counsellor offering sessions to both individuals and those in
relationships, such as partners or relatives. Weekly therapy can offer you
support with a specific challenge you may be facing in life, such as a
bereavement or relationship challenges, or it can support you more generally
to better understand yourself, others and the world we live in. We will build a
supportive relationship together that allows you to do this at a pace that feels
right for you.
Helen Lister 17 September 2025

I welcome the opportunity to work with clients of all genders, sexualities and cultural backgrounds. We are all affected by the cultures and political systems that surround us and therapy can be a space to unpack this. I am part of the LGBTQIAP+ community, and have previously worked as a therapist in specialist charity settings exploring gender identity, sexuality and relationship diversity.

I also have several years’ experience working with adults of all genders in sexual violence services.

Some of the other key themes I have worked with include, but are not limited
to:

  • Low self-worth
  • Family relationships
  • Grief / Loss
  • Childhood trauma

I offer in-person sessions in central Bristol or online. We can work together for
a fixed amount of time or open-ended, which means you decide to finish when
it feels right for you.

If you are interested in finding out more, I invite you to book a reduced-cost
initial consultation appointment (£27.50/50m). The initial consultation is an
opportunity for me to learn more about what has brought you to therapy, and
for you to learn more about me and my way of working. My standard rates are:

Individual therapy – £55 per 50-minute session.

Couples/relationship therapy (inc. families) – £75 per 50m.

To book your initial consultation, please contact me on:

Qualifications:

I hold a post-graduate diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling.
I am currently completing an MSc in Relational Psychotherapy – UKCP Reg.
