Heather Oddy is an NCPS-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She offers approachable, down-to-earth support for people struggling with stress and anxiety. Heather speaks English and uses a mix of practical talking therapies to help clients feel steadier day to day.
She focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Heather also helps with sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, anger, workplace strain and major life changes.
Background and approach
Parents and people caring for others often come to discuss compassion fatigue and balancing responsibilities. Her practice draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance-based techniques. Heather adapts what she uses to match each person’s needs and preferences, and she works collaboratively so clients choose what feels most helpful.
Heather has five years of professional experience and continues ongoing clinical supervision under the framework of NCPS. She also combines person-centred listening with attachment-informed perspectives to address relationship and intimacy concerns. Many clients look to her for calm, structured support through difficult transitions.
Sessions are available online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
How Heather’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without struggling with them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical tools to reduce worry and unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather discusses options with each person and adapts methods to fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy with Heather uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life while keeping a consistent therapeutic relationship.
