Helena Frickey

I’m Helena, the founder of Helena’s Haven, and my path into coaching grew from a combination of academic background in psychology, sociology, and forensics along with professional experience and a deeply personal understanding of what it means to navigate difficult seasons of life. Over the years, I’ve worked alongside people facing complex circumstances, transitions, recovery, and barriers that can make it difficult to see a way forward. Those experiences shaped the kind of coach I wanted to become: someone who doesn’t simply give advice, but creates a space where people feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood.

I’m especially passionate about grief and loss, trauma, women’s empowerment, confidence and mindset, addiction recovery, and supporting teens and young adults. I believe loss is much bigger than death; it can include relationships, identity, dreams, stability, health, or the life we thought we were going to have. I love helping people navigate those moments while also helping them rediscover their confidence, recognize their strengths, establish boundaries, and begin building a life that feels like their own again. With young adults and teens, I especially value creating a space where they can speak honestly without feeling judged or expected to have everything figured out.

What drives me is the belief that your hardest chapter does not get to define your entire story. I don’t believe healing is linear, and I don’t believe there is a single formula for getting better. Sometimes progress is a major breakthrough, and sometimes it’s simply finding enough strength to take the next step. My approach is warm, honest, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I’m not here to tell you who you should be or hand you a one-size-fits-all solution; I’m here to help you understand where you are, identify what you need, and work toward where you want to go.

Clients trust me because I meet them where they are. I bring professional knowledge and experience, but I also bring authenticity and the willingness to sit with the uncomfortable parts of life without trying to rush someone through them. You never have to arrive with the perfect words, a five-year plan, or everything figured out. You can simply arrive as you are. From there, we can work together to find your next step. 🤍
