Profile Information
- What interests would you like to share with friends and members of OTI?
- I live in Cardiff, South Wales. I'm also a Welsh speaker, and very proud of it!! I’m mother to a 17 year old son and 3 cats :o)
I am an advocate of online counselling and hope to develop my career in that direction in the near future. I have recently completed a research study entitled "The Pros and Cons of Counselling in Cyberspace" and I look forward to sharing the results of this research with you all very soon.
- Can you share a brief bio?
- My background is in nursing (RGN), but my passion and interest has always been people's psychological well being.
I have a post graduate Diploma in Counselling. My counsellor training followed an integrative model (humanistic, psychodynamic & CBT), although in practice I draw mostly on psychodynamic theory.
I have also recently obtained my Master's degree by conducting the above mentioned research!.

In the fall of 1991 I was an undergraduate student at Georgia State University. I was a student in the health sciences department and I majored in Mental Health and Human Services. To be sure all students received hands-on experience, we were required to complete 3 practicums. And so, approaching time to register for my [...]Is Online Therapy Finally Considered a Viable Option?
I was recently interviewed by the Stars and Stripes regarding online counseling and the article entitled Tricare Programs Offer Online Counseling posted last week. Some of you may know that Tricare is offering online services now with a pilot program called TRIAP in which military and their family members can obtain assistance online via [...]Internet Safety for your Teen
I recently was introduced to an awesome website that I thought I would share with everyone. The name of the site is the Kristin Helms Internet Safety Foundation and the website is http://www.kristinhelmsfoundation.org/. It is through tragedy that we are privy to such a wonderful collection of tips and information. Kristin met a sexual predator online [...]How Long is Too Long in the Front Lines?
I recently had a conversation with a colleague who said she just couldn’t find her “calling.” She is a counselor and she knows she was led to help people but she feels she is called to deeply fulfill her vocation- she just doesn’t know what or how. She told me about her jobs [...]New Psychotherapy Office Location in Atlantic Highlands, NJ

I know I am going to find it very confusing to have two fellow counellors based in South Wales with the name Helen Thomas. :-o
Speak soon no doubt
My focus is career counseling and since your research with mental health counseling I don't believe that my participation in your research would be helpful. But thanks for asking.

I'd completed your survey before you asked me, honest I did! Thanks for adding me as your friend - and I've done likewise. :) Helen.
