about me

I offer counselling and psychotherapy to adults and children in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells.

MY EXPERIENCE

Hello, my name is Helena Prentice (Dip.Psych.Couns.MBACP) and I am a qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor and a member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I am insured and ICO registered, and I also hold an up-to-date Disclosure and Barring Service Certificate.


I have experience working with a range of mental health issues of varying severities.


Prior to running my private practice, Enlightened Minds Therapy, I worked within an NHS setting providing therapy to adults and children between 5 and 18 years of age. I have worked within a Cancer Care Support Centre, providing therapy to the bereaved, those going through treatment and the terminally ill and I have also provided voluntary support within a Residential Rehabilitation facility, helping adults who are recovering from substance abuse.

my qualifications

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy, I have completed 5 years foundational training to attain the following qualifications with the CPCAB (Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body):

  • Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling - Working with Children and Young People (L5)
  • Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (Humanistic Route)

I have also completed further professional development and training in the following areas:

  • (CBT) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
  • (MBCBT) Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
  • Children & Young People Mental Health & Wellness 
  • Play Therapy 
  • Attachment In Psychotherapy

Although I work integratively, my roots are in Humanistic, Person Centred theory, which means I am able to draw from a range of therapeutic modalities. This enables me to tailor the therapy to individual needs. I tend to incorporate concepts based on Psychodynamic and Gestalt, together with CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy) and Mindfulness.


I can help both adults and children. If you think you or your child would benefit from my services, please get in touch with me.
