About me and the therapy I offer

My name is Heather and I am a person-centred therapist. Before I was a counsellor, I was an outdoor education coach. I have a strong connection with nature as a space for healing and catalyst for personal change. My experiences of being in nature, particularly around campfires, evoke feelings of warmth, comfort, connection and grounding. During my own therapy journey I felt held in a similar way. Both experiences enabled healing for me. I aim to provide a space where you can feel held in the same way, enabling you to explore your feelings and emotions, heal and blossom.

I know first hand that counselling can feel daunting, unknown and scary. I know when I first saw a therapist, I wondered what to say, if I was saying the right thing, if I needed to see a therapist at all, what they thought of me, what did they expect or want me to say. Whatever brings you to counselling, we can explore together, there is nothing too small or too big, there is no right or wrong way, only your way. As your counsellor, I aim to be by your side, exploring what it must be like for you, from your perspective. I have a gentle manner demonstrating empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence, enabling my clients to feel safe and comfortable to explore their feelings.
