About me
Hello and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Helen Veleska and I founded Lotus Counselling, Psychology & Life Coaching to provide compassionate and professional therapy. I also supervise other therapists, both 1-2-1 and in groups. I offer 1-2-1, couples and family therapy, as well as group work sessions for various issues. These include anxiety, depression, loss, mental health, to name but a few. Additionally I have many years experience in the field of addiction and children's safeguarding. Alongside my counselling services I also offer life coaching. This can be in conjunction with therapy or as a 'stand-alone' service. Furthermore, I am a registered member of the BACP and accredited member of the NCPS, following their ethical codes and guidelines.
My Counselling Diploma and foundation degree in Counselling & Psychology have advanced my understanding of the human mind and passion for understanding the effect emotions have on our lives. I have worked with 11-80+ year olds and offer a non-judgemental, empathic approach. I offer a limited number of concessions for particular clients, circumstances dependant (please feel free to contact me for further information on this). My supervisory work is based on the Integrative Developmental Model and Seven Eyed Model. Whilst my Life Coaching training incorporates the GROW model, which is client-led and designed for self-empowerment of the client. I participate in continued professional development (CPD), to ensure that I am up-to-date with my knowledge and practice.

I provide counselling, life coaching and supervision from my private practice in a village less than 10 minutes from Warminster in Wiltshire. This is done in a private room providing a safe and confidential space for our work together. I can also offer online appointments via safe platforms, like Zoom. I update my safeguarding training annually and am fully DBS checked.
I am dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges and find emotional balance. My training helps me to provide you with a reliable, regular, safe space where you can begin to talk about whatever is on your mind. I have an integrative approach, using a wide range of therapeutic models; transpersonal, psychodynamic and person centred. In essence, that means I start with a basic belief in the human potential to heal and grow, seeing my job as a counsellor to be one of facilitating you in achieving that potential, by enabling you to feel safely 'held' whilst you go on your journey. I also believe that past experiences can have an effect on our present reality, so part of our journey may be to make the unconscious, conscious by exploring your history. Lastly, I can help by focusing on the relationship between us, to bring the way you relate to others to your awareness and facilitate your understanding of yourself, providing healing and change.
