About Me
Hello, I’m Helen Brimson, founder of BrainWorks and a fully qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner. I specialise in helping individuals and organisations build calm, resilient, and mentally healthy lives through a forward-looking, evidence-based approach.
“My work is focused on helping you understand how your brain works”
My professional background spans social care, education, and business. I’ve worked closely with children and adults with autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities experiences that gave me a deep understanding of behaviour, emotional wellbeing, and the vital role of being truly heard. Through my advocacy work, I supported individuals with learning disabilities and/or autism to express themselves and feel respected and empowered. These experiences continue to shape my therapeutic approach, reinforcing my belief in the power of inclusive, person-centred environments where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
Alongside this, my work in business and with a business networking company has given me valuable insight into the pressures of high-stress environments and the critical importance of workplace wellbeing.
I’m also a speaker, podcast host, and radio co-host. Through BrainWorks Talks, I explore topics like mental health, behaviour change, and resilience with warmth and honesty, drawing on both personal and professional experience. I regularly deliver workshops and webinars for businesses and organisations across the UK.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in neuroscience and the solution-focused model. It’s positive, practical, and centred on your strengths not your labels or limitations. Whether I’m working with individuals or supporting teams, I help people move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered, from overwhelmed to balanced.
I offer sessions both online and in person, making support flexible, accessible, and tailored to your needs.
