Helen has worked within the field of Christian Counselling/Psychotherapy/Pastoral Counselling since the early 1990s as a student, counsellor, trainer, lecturer, course coordinator, course writer, and clinical supervisor to counsellors, pastors and chaplains.  Most recently she completed the circle by returning to student status to complete a PhD which researched the therapeutic relationship using both psychotherapeutic and theological lenses. Her passion throughout this journey has always been the integration of Christian faith and practice for herself and for further generations of Christian counsellors. She has worked for St Marks National Theological College in Canberra, Charles Sturt University, Anglicare, and Morling College as well as in private practice. These days finds her with a portfolio of work, mostly unpaid, but all of which centres on relationship with people and relationship with God.
