Helen Bennett - The Menopause Therapist

About me

As a coach, counsellor and clinical supervisor, you can probably tell that I love variety in my work! I thrive on professional and therapeutic connection, independence and autonomy, and the opportunity to support people.

I have a corporate background in People/HR, specialising in setting up strategy, systems and processes, managing change in high-growth companies and start-ups, and internal resourcing in a range of industries including financial services, product development, education and publishing.

Supporting Therapists

I am passionate about supporting other therapists to thrive. In 2023, I co-founded theCounsellors' Staffroom community platform, an online professional community providing personal and professional support, CPD and Networking Events for counsellors and psychotherapists. I have been a co-admin of the Counsellors’ Staffroom Facebook group – a supportive space for counselling and psychotherapist professionals – since 2021.

Media appearances

I am keen to raise awareness of the issues I support clients and supervisees with, especially menopause, fertility, hormone issues and how neurodivergence may impact these and mental health.
