Helen Bennett - The Menopause Therapist

About me

As a qualified counsellor, clinical supervisor and coach 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. I spent 4 years co-managing the Counsellors' Staffroom Facebook group of over 8,000 therapists. In 2023, I co-founded and launched the Counsellors' Staffroom community platform, an online professional community providing personal and professional support, CPD and Networking Events for counsellors and psychotherapists. In 2025 I stepped away from Counsellors' Staffroom to focus on other projects.
