About me and my therapy practice
Hello I am Heather an Integrative Counsellor with a core modality of CBT. My training allows me to use differing modalities to suit you the client eg Person Centred, psychodynamic or attachment theory.
I trained to Degree level and have overall 12 years of experience plus 8 years working in private practice as well as also working for local charities such as Samaritans and local Hospice working with bereaved clients. I also worked in schools with children, I have worked with children for 17 years in various settings.
My passion is helping those who are struggling with certain issues in their lives and believe that everyone deserves some additional support when life gets particularly tough. I will provide a safe and confidential space for you to chat about anything without feeling judged.

I offer on-line and telephone counselling sessions as well as face to face.
I also work alongside charities, and EAP organisations as well as my private clients.
My first session
Choosing the right therapist can be a daunting task and I admire your courage for taking that first brave step in reaching out, it is not easy however, I will do my best to make you feel at ease. During your first session we will start to build up trust and repour, this is key to the therapeutic relationship to enable healing to begin.
During this first session I will take some detail, carry out a short assessment and then you will have the opportunity to talk about what brought you to counselling and then together we will make decide the best way forward, working towards your goals. At all times you are in control of your sessions with my help, support and guidance.
After this first session there is no obligation to pursue counselling sessions with myself and you can be open and honest if you feel it is not the right time, for whatever, reason. This is all about you and what you feel is right for you.
