Helen Townsend is an artist and works at Beacon House as our Creative Advisor. Combining inspiration from lived experience with academic training, she is passionate about translating complicated theories and painful subject areas into accessible and compassionate information that can be used by everyone in day to day life.

As an adoptive parent Helen aims to ensure ideas are realistic and practical for families and professionals. Helen believes that getting the information to those who need it is essential if we are to see true change for vulnerable children and adults.
