Heather Gwyther

You probably aren’t reading this entirely happy. Maybe you sense that there’s not much more those around you can say about your problems. Maybe sharing your pain with another person has felt inconceivable. You may also just want to understand yourself better. Whatever it is, having a non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings – one that’s exclusively yours – can help.

As a person-centred counsellor, I aim to provide that space with warmth, humour and acceptance.

So what does person-centred therapy actually feel like?

Person-centred therapy is based on the belief that the capacity for healing is already within you, but this doesn't mean you're alone in the process.

Rather than repeatedly saying “That must be hard”, I am trained to be attentive to what you say – and what you don't – to better understand what you're feeling in all its complexity. All parts of you are welcome.

Our sessions are led by you. I won't bring my own agenda or pretend to know you better than you know yourself. After all, I'm not the expert on your life – you are.

But this doesn't mean I won't be real with you. Instead of hiding behind a professional facade, I will sometimes share my own honest response to what you bring to our sessions. And I welcome your honesty in return.

As well as a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, I hold an additional Level 4 qualification in Ethical Counselling for Substance Misuse. My work in counselling has also extended to research. In 2026, I presented findings on male victims of intimate partner abuse at the 32nd BACP International Research Conference.

Continuing to develop as a counsellor is important to me. Workshops I've found particularly valuable include working therapeutically with dreams and expressing anger safely.

You may know exactly what's making life difficult or just have a sense that something needs to change. We can work it out together.

I offer 50-minute sessions online and over the phone.

Sessions usually take place weekly and can continue for as long as they feel useful to you.

If you're interested in working together, there are several ways to arrange a free 15-minute consultation:

• Sending me an message on this directory
• Sending me a text
• Sending me a message on WhatsApp

Our consultation is a space for us to discuss what's brought you to counselling and whether we might be a good fit.

Please check your spam folder if you choose to contact me via email – my response may end up in there.

My standard rate is £60, but I do have some concessionary spaces available if cost would otherwise be a barrier to accessing counselling.
