Helen | RTT Therapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist

Introduction

Hi, I’m Helen.

I’m a therapist based in Porirua City, and I work primarily with a modality called Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). I love this work and I love the results I see in my clients every day.

RTT allows us to work at the subconscious level to address a wide range of issues: anxiety, depression, past trauma, relationship difficulties, addictions such as smoking, drinking, or sugar, as well as patterns around confidence, imposter syndrome, and self-sabotage. It can support better sleep, reduce panic attacks, and help calm a mind that feels constantly “on”.

RTT is particularly effective for anxiety-based issues; breaking out of cycles of looping thoughts, panic, social anxiety, or that feeling of your mind taking over and running the show.

I truly love helping people step out of past trauma. I adore my teenagers, and I especially enjoy working with neurodiverse clients who sometimes need a little extra care, structure, or reassurance along the way. It’s also worth mentioning that at any given time, around 50% of my clients have been referred by a family member or someone who cares about them, which speaks to the trust involved in this work.

For some clients - and particularly those experiencing chronic overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, trauma, or suspected neurodivergence – clarity itself can be deeply regulating.

RTT, combined with the right therapeutic modalities, coaching skills, and the frameworks I’ve developed over more than 20 years in business and clinical practice, creates an experience that is both deeply personal and transformative.

The real power of working with me is in finding freedom from the pain of the past, and creating harmony between new, supportive subconscious beliefs and consciously planned ways of living, being, and achieving.

I have many happy clients, but for confidentiality reasons I don’t publish online reviews.

One client recently shared:

“I loved working with Helen. Her friendly and calming nature set me at ease from our very first interaction. I am very happy with the service she provided, and the overall results have been life-changing to say the very least. I will be forever grateful.”

I’m trained in many modalities, but I believe the true skill of being a great therapist lies in finding the right blend of tools for each individual client.

Alongside therapy, I now offer structured psychological screening and outcome tracking, using the same professional assessment platform used by psychologists and psychiatrists across New Zealand and Australia. I’ve seen so many people waiting months for psychiatric appointments, and that waiting alone can add significantly to stress and overwhelm.

These tools are not diagnostic. They don’t provide labels or replace a formal psychiatric assessment.
What they can offer is validated insight into patterns of distress, attention, emotional regulation, and nervous system load, a way to better understand what may be contributing to how you’re feeling

and a clearer sense of direction, especially if you’re waiting for specialist support. 

For many clients, this clarity alone reduces anxiety, self-blame, and the urge to catastrophise.

All screening is clinician-selected, trauma-informed, and carefully interpreted by me, alongside a practical action plan to help you move forward.

If you’re ready to be free of whatever may be holding you back or you simply need clarity, support, and direction please get in touch and let’s see if I can help.
