Testimonials
A huge Thank You to my clients who have offered to supply me with testimonials, it is hugely appreciated.
Here you can read counselling testimonials from clients who have worked with me, Helen Hoyte, in Devon and online.
These testimonials reflect experiences of counselling, coaching, ADHD coaching, and highlight the supportive, compassionate and professional approach I bring to my work.
I am grateful to the clients who have kindly shared their feedback, and I hope their words give you a sense of the safe and positive space I offer through counselling, coaching and supervision.
When I first began working with Helen, I approached her for support with what I believed was health anxiety. In reality, this was just the surface of much deeper, more complex emotional patterns and internal conflicts I hadn’t yet recognised or understood.
Helen’s skill lies not only in identifying what’s really going on beneath the surface but in doing so with extraordinary empathy, clarity, and professionalism.
Her ability to hold space without judgement, ask the right questions, and directly challenge limiting beliefs has had a profound and lasting impact on both my personal and professional life.
Working with Helen has helped me better understand myself and break through longstanding barriers that were quietly shaping how I showed up in the world.
Her support has not only improved my mental and emotional wellbeing, it has directly contributed to my growth as a leader, parent, and partner.
So valuable has her insight and support been that I now continue to work with Helen on an ongoing basis, not because of crisis, but because of the clarity and alignment she helps bring to my life.
I see our work as a long-term investment in becoming the most resilient, self-aware, and grounded version of myself that enables me to achieve all my goals and aspirations.
I would not hesitate to recommend Helen to anyone seeking deep, lasting change, whether you are facing specific challenges or simply wish to grow with more intention and self-awareness.
Based on my experience, she is truly exceptional at what she does.

Helen has a rare ability to make you feel both completely at ease and deeply understood.
Sarah, Exeter June 2025
Working with Helen has been life-changing.
She creates a space where you can talk openly without fear of judgement, while gently guiding you towards insights and tools that truly work.
Her blend of counselling, coaching, and holistic approaches meant I felt supported on every level — emotionally, mentally, and physically. I’ve walked away with more clarity, confidence, and practical strategies than I ever imagined possible.

I’ve been working with Helen for the past 12 months, and she has helped me in so many ways!
She is incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and offers a comfortable and supportive environment.
Helen has an in-depth knowledge of ADHD, and through our sessions I’ve learned so much about myself and how ADHD affects my life.
The techniques she’s shared with me have been incredibly helpful in managing everyday tasks, and I’m doing things I never thought I’d be able to.
I highly recommend Helen to anyone seeking support with ADHD.

Helen is absolutely amazing!
Our sessions helped me to break life down in to more manageable chunks and to really focus on what was important to me and what was therefore a priority to work on.
Helen is such a warm and welcoming person and I instantly felt comfortable talking to her and she gave me the push to make positive changes in a very supportive way.
I cannot recommend Helen highly enough!

I never quite knew how to understand the notion of “being held”, however that would exactly describe the experience I had with Helen.
I never felt judged or criticised in any way which made it easy to communicate and to dig deeper.
Her relaxed and open manner and her skilful questioning allowed me to find out answers for myself without ever having the feeling of being pushed or lead into some prescribed direction.
Thankyou

I highly recommend Helen as a counsellor.
She is kind, warm and incredibly knowledgeable.
I have found our work together so helpful and have been able to make lasting changes that have enabled me to feel more independent and in control of my life.

I found Helen via social media and I’m so pleased I did!
My business was quite ‘messy’ and I didn’t have much clarity about my messaging or the direction I was going in.
Helen helped me to get a deeper perspective about my business as a whole, looking at what I found most joyful and helping me to identify which services to offer.
Not only that, but she helped me to understand the importance of balance throughout all areas of my life.
As someone who burns out easily, practising regular self-care and growing my business in a way that feels good is fundamental to keeping mentally healthy.
I can wholeheartedly recommend coaching with Helen.”

The Coaching sessions I am having with Helen have been instrumental in helping me to launch and market my new business.
With Helen’s support, I have had space to identify and give focus to a number of professional objectives as well as having time to reflect on and adjust these goals.
Helen brings real warmth and a rigorous focus to our sessions, making them an enormously beneficial experience.

As someone with ADHD, I’ve often felt misunderstood by professionals — but not with Helen.
She just ‘gets it.’ She understands the challenges, the frustrations, and the strengths that come with a neurodivergent mind.
Her sessions gave me tools that actually fit the way my brain works, and for the first time, I feel like I can move forward without trying to change who I am.
Emily, Totnes December 2023
Helen is a sensational coach, I have had around 5 sessions with her now and can’t imagine not having her guidance.
She has contributed to so much change and improvement in so many aspects of my life.
Thank you Helen!

Helen has been my personal and business coach for 1.5 years now, and my business would never be where it is today without our sessions
