Helen Ford, Somatic and Subconscious Coach

About me

I was supporting people long before I formally trained.

In 2018 I trained in Cognitive Hypnotherapy, NLP (Master Practitioner) and EFT Tapping, giving me a deeper understanding of the subconscious mind and the patterns that shape us.

The more I worked with clients the more I became curious about how the body responds to events or circumstances that may or may not be consciously known. This led me to Somatic Coaching and gentle Embodied Yoga; to a more integrated way of working with both body and mind.

I'm always interested in what sits beneath the surface - the patterns, responses and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck - and by how in slowing down and taking time to listen to the body, we create space for deeper awareness, clarity and a remembering to emerge.

My work draws on a range of subconscious and embodiment practices, woven together intuitively rather than followed as rigid methods. This allows each session to meet you exactly where you are, responding to what your system is asking for in the present moment.

Before this work, I spent many years working as an high-end Interior Designer in London and Internationally. My own experience of burnout became a turning point - inviting a deep reconnection with myself and a new way of being. That journey now informs how I hold space: with empathy, honesty, compassion and a grounded sense of ease.

Now, living by the sea, I’m continually inspired by nature and the importance of balance, presence and simplicity in daily life.

I’m here to support you in remembering the full expression of who you are, to hold space with curiosity, honesty and presence., to help you understand yourself a little more deeply and ultimately, to reconnect you with the part of you that already knows.

My work is informed by a blend of formal training, lived experience and ongoing personal practice.
