Helena Rose works in NHS mental health rehabilitation (inpatient and community) services in Leeds, UK. She is a systemic psychotherapist, systemic supervisor, and clinical psychologist and has worked with people and families living with distressing unusual experiences (psychosis and bipolar) across the North of England since 2013.

She is a tutor for the foundation course in family therapy and systemic practice at the University of Leeds and contributes to doctoral clinical psychology and undergraduate nursing training programmes. She holds a commitment to disrupting disciplinary binaries and innovating beyond conventional professional boundaries.

She is forever grateful for those mentors and collaborators who showed her the art of narrative conversation, crafting questions to travel with people to unexpected places, taught her to pay close attention to the small and the ordinary moments that make up our lives, and nurtured her unwavering enthusiasm for protest and resistance which finds such a welcoming home in this narrative work.
