Her background includes volunteering and paid roles with several charities in Worcestershire, working with both adults and children, and more recently relocating to Kent. For a time she worked three days a week in a local secondary school alongside running a private practice, supporting young people and adults facing a wide range of concerns.

She has helped clients with issues such as anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, bereavement, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem challenges, money problems, obsessive compulsive concerns, ADHD, autism spectrum presentations, and pregnancy loss among other struggles. Heather maintains ongoing professional development through regular training and offers a variety of creative ways of working when appropriate. She aims to facilitate personal insight and growth by creating a nonjudgemental therapeutic relationship that supports clients to find their own solutions.

Person-centred and grief-informed approaches delivered online

Heather primarily works from a person-centred perspective, which focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgemental relationship that helps clients explore their feelings and rediscover their own solutions. This approach supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns by putting the client’s experience and autonomy at the centre of the work.

Heather also offers grief-informed support that draws on bereavement-aware techniques to help individuals process loss and navigate the complex emotions that follow. This kind of focused support can be helpful for those coping with bereavement, pregnancy loss, or other major life transitions.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. Heather collaborates with clients to identify the approaches and practical tools that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting as the work evolves. Registered professionals and therapists often combine methods to suit each person’s situation.

Online therapy with Heather is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to access consistent support, reduce travel time, and fit therapy into busy lives while still maintaining a meaningful therapeutic connection.
