Testimonials

lucia Capacchione:

"Helen is a gifted and experienced practitioner of Creative Journal Expressive Arts methods as described in my thirteen books. She trained with me and has integrated expressive arts therapy techniques and journaling into the other methods she teaches. Helen has come up with a unique and effective approach to healing and personal growth that blends her life experience, training and personal growth. Most importantly, Helen is a woman of heart who brings her self fully, and her presence, to all that she does and all those whose lives she touches. It is an honor to have trained her and include her in our Creative Journal Expressive Arts worldwide community of certified practitioners. I recommend her and her work wholeheartedly.

"Ive known Helen Mc Carren for over 8years, what can I say, she is a Gifted and Talented Psychotherapist. I have always found her to have an utmost professional approach to her work and have no hesitation in recommending her."

C Co Antrim:

"Helen has empowered me to turn my life around. She has a frank and forthright approach - working with her can be challenging at times, but the pay-off is tremendous. Helen’s guidance has allowed me to develop greater self-knowledge and to discover a happier, more peaceful existence. I would definitely recommend her – I only wish I’d found her sooner"

"I think the term "rock bottom" would be the most appropriate one to describe how I was when I first went to Helen. I had no idea I was so unwell and had I been left to my own devices, I dread to think where I could have ended up.

I look back now and see that I was barely going through the motions of daily living. I felt dead inside and life was just getting more painful every day. I really thought that if I just kept going from one day to the next, then at some stage I would come out the other side..........After Helen, one of my friends at work told me, that there had been times when I had came to work and my top was inside out........I hadnt even noticed that.

There were times when I just did not want to keep my appointment with her, times I felt that I had very little to say and could "skip" going, those were always the nights when I would make huge progress and the feelings of relief were wonderful.I felt as if a huge weight had been taken from me.

I never felt judged, stupid, foolish or useless. Helen's genuine concern and professionalism never changed over the period of weeks. Its a wonderful feeling knowing that she is always there, should I ever need her help in the future. If there is any part of your life that you feel is "not right", grab hold of your courage and call her. If my experince is anything to go by, somethings are just too much to cope with on your own.

Then you can begin to fully live your life."
