Background and approach

She has worked for charities and within a secondary school, supporting adults and young people with a wide range of concerns. Her work has included anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, obsessive-compulsive concerns, ADHD and gender dysphoria among other issues. In sessions she helps people talk through what matters to them and find their own ways forward.

She offers simple, practical options and can use creative activities when helpful. Heather aims to build a trusting space where clients feel heard and able to try new strategies. She also offers online and telephone work and has a certificate in online and telephone counselling.

Heather keeps developing her skills through regular training and continuing professional development. She is open to discussing how her approach might suit an individual’s needs and preferences. Parents reading on a phone will find straightforward, short conversations with Heather.

She focuses on clarity, practical steps and gentle encouragement so people can move toward the changes they want.

Practical approaches for online counselling and anxiety

Heather works from a person-centred foundation, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people identify their own next steps. This approach is about building a supportive relationship and guiding clients to notice what already helps and what could change. It is useful for anxiety, stress and relationship concerns.

She also draws on evidence-based techniques that help manage symptoms such as worry and compulsive habits. These techniques involve structured exercises and repeated practice to reduce distressing thoughts and behaviours and to improve everyday functioning. For issues like OCD and obsessions, the work often includes gradual exposure to difficult thoughts and learning new responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That may mean trying one way of working first and adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer written reflection or need support that fits around busy days. These options make it easier to fit regular therapy into everyday life.
