Chief Executive, Hexagon Housing Association

I was initially sceptical about Therapy, assuming it was something for damaged or disturbed people, but Helen immediately demystified this for me.

After receiving my schema result I was instantly sold on the idea of therapy and completed a series of over 20 sessions which has completely changed my life, my mindset and overall attitude about myself and others. Helen’s ability to get to put you at ease, allowed me to open up in ways I’ve never done before – I am more accepting and less judgemental of myself which has a knock on effect on the work I do and the experiences I encounter.

I’ve always had a love and thirst for life and personal development and exposing myself to therapy has given me an even more positive outlook on life.

Managing Director, Quest 4 Success

I first met Helen in 2009 and was impressed with her abilities as a practitioner and therapist.

Helen’s expertise is working in particular with dual diagnosis. She has demonstrated this in her training of other frontline clinicians in the field of dual diagnosis in this organisation for over a 3-year period. She also had an active caseload in working with other teams and supporting them in their work in these areas.

My experience of Helen is her commitment and passion for her work in seeing the whole part of the person in their recovery. She has the skills of supporting the client holistically through skilled interventions. She does this with care and attention recognising each person’s individual needs. Through her own experience she has excellent insight and therapeutic understanding in the works she undertakes where the gifts of passion and genuineness show through.

The purpose of this brief correspondence is to communicate my wholehearted professional endorsement of Ms. Helen Raphael. I would highly recommend her as a therapist and would support any organization or individual to seek her services. I worked with Helen while she was employed at DARA Thailand; she was a focal counselor and I was the Director of Clinical Operations. I found her to be compassionate, insightful and skilled as a clinician. She was always willing to go the “extra mile” with her clients and was a strong advocate for their and the programs overall well being.

Helen has a warm and engaging personality that lends itself to trust, and a sense of safety. I think she was especially effective with some of the more difficult clients.

She continues to work to improve her clinical skills and seems very committed to her career and her family. I would not hesitate to hire her again if the situation presented itself.

Any client and/or organization would be lucky to have her be part of their support network.

Helen Raphael delivered a thoroughly engaging and motivational talk entitled “Breaking Bad Habits” for LSBU graduates. She is clearly an expert in the subject of habit formations and mental processes, striking an impressive balance between scientific principles and practical advice for guests. I received overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees. Thank you Helen.
