Short Biography

I’m Dr Helen Lewis, a Senior Clinical Psychologist registered with the HCPC. With over a decade of experience in NHS services, I have supported individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

I specialise in helping people navigate challenges such as childhood trauma, emotional difficulties, and relationship struggles, working together to help you move towards the life and relationships you want. In addition to my doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I’ve completed advanced training in Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Systemic Psychotherapy and the Gottman Method for couples. My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies while being compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to you.

With individuals seeking therapy, I draw on Schema Therapy to help uncover and address deeply rooted patterns and beliefs that may be affecting how you see yourself and others. Whether you’re struggling with low self-esteem, persistent anxiety, or feelings of being stuck, Schema Therapy offers an effective way to build self-understanding and create new ways of relating to yourself and the world around you. If trauma is part of your journey, I offer Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). This approach helps to process and heal from distressing memories, enabling you to regain control and feel more at peace in your everyday life.

In my work with couples, I draw on Systemic Psychotherapy and the Gottman Method to help strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and foster deeper emotional connection. Whether you’re navigating recurring conflicts or feeling distant from one another, I focus on practical tools and strategies to help you better understand each other and move forward as a team.

With a strong foundation in evidence-based approaches, I’m committed to helping you create a life and relationships that feel more fulfilling, connected, and aligned with your values.

I work from Leah’s Yard, central Sheffield, and online.  I charge £120 for individuals, £155 for couple assessment and £130 for ongoing couple work.  I am registered with BUPA.
