Energetics Institute - Psychotherapy & Counselling

I couldn't praise Richard enough for what he has helped me with. Amazing insight, understanding and an abilty to really put you at ease. Very down to earth and friendly, with the ability to really see the crux of any issue I shared with him.

I am so grateful to Helena for helping me on my journey of healing my self and my relationships with family and friends. She is warm, kind, grounded and provides a safe space to be vulnerable. I always appreciate the intellectual and heart felt conversations we've had in our sessions.

When we've done processing work, she is intuitive and knows how to express in words what I'm feeling and if it feels right for me. I feel it has helped me a lot in processing old patterns/feelings/energies.

I have also seen Richard for couples counselling and appreciate his pragmatic and caring approach too.

Highly recommend both Helena and Richard. Thank you so much for helping me empower myself.

Had a bad experience and then came across several (3) other people who said the same. But reviews seem to have been restarted recently.all old reviews have been removed

Richard was very helpful, knowledgeable and great to deal with, I didn’t have a lot of expectations going in as I’ve tried many things over the years to overcome anxiety, but I can say this was a great help to me and I’m functioning better then I have in years. Thanks Richard.

I wanted to take this opportunity to give Richard Boyd a review.
- I first saw Richard 2.5 years ago. My marriage was in crisis and I felt overwhelmed by my feelings and confused at times.
I'd had Psychotherapy before and I'd found it helpful so I was attracted to this approach.
Through careful listening Richard helped me identify and validate my feelings.
-I would often look up and see compassion in his eyes and gain strength from this.
Over time Richard helped validate my feelings and explore what changes I was seeking in my relationship. This was a careful piece of work which required me to recognise my communication patterns as well as my partners.
I can't tell you how helpful, compassionate this experience was for me, both within my relationship with my partner and also within other relationships my life.
I now have more self confidence and I've built more resilience.
So I feel able to cope better in life. I feel much happier and calmer in general.
Over the years I've also had brief encounters with Richards wife Helena, who has also been reassuring and validating. Another skilled professional in her own right. Not to mention the adorable Daisy now succeeded by Poppy.
Cuddling these little balls of fluff has been lovely.
- lastly although I hope this review helps potential customers consider coming to see you I want You to know that youve helped me make positive changes to my life!
All the best to you.

He has saved my life in 1 hour, I have reffered 2 people to him already and I only spoke with him 8 hours ago. Be open, honest and tell him everything no mater how embarrassing it ma be, it will save your life and point out how dangerous a parter with BPD can be. Thanks so much Richard, life changing.

I’ve been to many professionals and trust me you wont find anyone else who can truly help you as much as Richard can. Absolute legend. But you have to be consistent and commit to the sessions and just watch your life change as you implement his therapy.

Richard helped me through a lot of difficult times and gave me some very grounding techniques to deal with tough situations. I still use his teachings today.

I found Richard when I was in crisis, and he has helped me immensely. Having already undergone CBT and other talk therapies for (historic) PTSD, I was frustrated by my inability to use those strategies when I was activated/in flight or fight mode.
Richard's methods have allowed me to downregulate my overactive nervous system, which enables me to access those strategies, respond rather than react, and better manage my triggers.
He also validated my experiences, helped me to identify/get out of further re-traumatising situations, and guided me out of survival mode.

I highly recommend Energetics Institute for anyone at any stage of their healing journey.

I met Richard at one of ladies’ support group meetings where he ran a series of talks about different mental conditions (narcissism, depression, trauma, etc.). His presentations gave me very good view and better understanding of myself and other people and I decided to look for his help with some of my issues. I wasn’t in a very good emotional state at the time due to toxic and abusive work environment. I tried a few different ways to change my feelings towards this situation but hardly noticed any difference. I also had an issue with occasional back pain for years that was unbearable for me and affected me mentally and emotionally very badly. Richard identified the roots of my situations and took me through a few processes to clear the hidden conditions. I was surprised how easy and effective these healing processes were. I keep using them for other situations as well and they bring so much calm and security back in my life. I now work for a different company where I am treated very differently, and I hadn’t had back pain since my healing with Richard. I keep his details because I believe that he really can help to restore emotional peace and confidence in case I need some help again.

I started seeing Helena in 2020, after COVID restrictions lifted and we could do 'in person' appointments. I was experiencing debilitating anxiety that was exacerbated by work stress. I was at a low point and sought help to develop my personal and professional resilience and confidence. Helena provided a safe space to unpack the challenges I was struggling with that had held me back for so long. She guided and supported me to understand myself and the situations I faced, and helped me to build a toolkit of strategies to navigate life better.
Today I am more confident, calm, healthy and centred, than I have ever been.
I am so grateful that a friend recommended Energetics Institute. The ongoing support and understanding I have experienced has changed my life for the better and set me on a positive path.
Helena has been an absolute blessing and I can not recommend her highly enough.

My first experience of Richard and Helena has been positive, and I look forward to continuing my journey with the energetics institute to improve my quality of life, connection to people and self.
. This journey is exciting

I came to Richard hopeful yet sceptical as I had never really connected with any psychologists in the past. Richard was different. What he did to give me an understanding of myself and why I was feeling the way I was is truly a gift, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He has a great understanding of people and of human behaviour and thanks to him I am now in a positive place in my life

I came to Richard years ago, I was in a dark place i was in a marriage with a  narrisist,   my coping mechanism was drugs and alcohol. I also had a past trauma of sexual assault

Richard was easy for me to connect to back then I was 25 years old. He provided a safe place for me to explore my traumas. I went to his seminars to learn about myself and narristic behavior.
I learnt alot through some body movement techniques to release trauma. I would highly recommend anyone to go to Richard.
I truely believe Richard saved me and helped me on my journey to heal.
I am now a strong women with strong boundaries,   I work in women's services and have a loving husband.
Because of Richard I became my own hero and I am forever grateful.
Thankyou

I came to the Energetics Institute because I was interested in learning about Somatics and how to transform Emotional Energy. I love that Richard not only utilises a Holistic approach (that is tailored toward what is needed in the moment) but is also an extremely down to earth person. I very much resonated with this and as a result, thoroughly enjoy working with him.

I feel much stronger within myself having worked with Richard and cannot thank him enough for his help when it has been needed. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for support in any area of their life.

Helena was amazing very understanding and was able to provide me insightful advice on issues that seem to surface in my life that were dragging me down. The spiritual guidance was very handy as well as trying to sort out how to deal with some of these emotions surfacing. Her understanding and knowledge in the area of child hood wounding and how to deal with the loss of a loved one is remarkable. Highly recommended.

I've had amazing results as a Client of the Energetics Institute. These people know their stuff and are at the cutting edge of leading therapies!

I saw Helena Boyd for a couple of years, weekly, whilst suffering with severe Post Natal Depression and Anxiety after giving birth to twins.
I vividly remember days when i would walk into her home office, crippled with anxiety, and somehow would walk out feeling the cloud had lifted and that i could actually breathe once again.
Helena had a natural ability, that didn't feel like she was working when I was with her. Genuine empathy, warmth, understanding and in hindsight, I now see that she believed that l had the strength to pull through when I felt so weak and had lost all hope.
Helena would go above and beyond her role as a psychotherapist, making herself available whenever she could for unscheduled appointments or phone calls when I was struggling.
Her home office was a wonderful space for me after having visited numerous psychologists in their cold and clinical offices.
Where l would walk out feeling none the better than when l walked in.
I fondly remember Helenas office, at the time a sanctuary for me, and more to the point, a reflection of her.
Today, I could not thank Helena enough for realising the strong woman inside of me, now able to cope with the challanges of parenting and life in general.which back then I never thought possible.
Thank you Helena

• Energetics Institute Director Helena, a highly skilled psychotherapist I attended regular sessions in Perth and online. Thank you so much Helena offering a practical energetic focus in sessions, with your depth of wisdom, ‘realness’ and genuine understanding. I’ve always felt encouraged, safe & supported and applying it to my life has made a hugely positive difference.

I worked with Helena for about 3 years. During that time she became a reliable and compassionate shoulder, helping me to see challenges with a clear head and accept myself. I believe that the energetic work is key to evolve and be more in our body rather than in a turbulent mind. I feel grateful to have met and worked with Helena and highly recommend her.
