Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, anger, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, career changes and compassion fatigue. In sessions she listens first and follows the person's lead. The person-centred style means priorities come from the client, not a fixed agenda.

Heather aims to reflect what she hears so people can see their own thinking more clearly and make choices that fit their life. Practical help is part of the work alongside listening. Heather will help break problems into small steps, try different ways of coping, and review what works.

Many clients use sessions to rehearse difficult conversations or plan manageable changes at home or work. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for ongoing support. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their schedule.

Person-centred care delivered online

Heather uses person-centred therapy to guide her online work. This approach puts the person's experience at the centre and relies on careful listening, reflection and respect for each individual's values. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, relationship worries and reactions to trauma because it focuses on what matters most to the person rather than imposing a fixed plan.

In practice Heather will listen closely, mirror what she hears and ask questions that help people clarify their priorities. She works collaboratively to set goals and test small changes, adapting methods to fit what someone needs in the moment. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Heather will help decide what fits best based on a person's needs, goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone calls can be easier on low bandwidth or when being off-camera helps, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, family and other commitments, and make it simpler to keep continuity between sessions.
