Hello, Im Heidi.
I am an empathic and goal-focussed therapeutic counsellor, specialising in supporting individuals living with or surviving abuse, esteem issues and grief. I am also experienced in working with ADHD/Autism and welcome diversity by championing and celebrating the unique strengths of each individual. Come as you are, we can figure the rest out.
About me and my practice
What to expect in session
Within each course of therapy, you lead your own journey to growth. Each session lasts around an hour and my place is to guide you to the best therapy for your needs. This may combine person-centred therapy, trauma informed therapy, CBT tasks (negative automatic thought control), psychoanalysis, attachment styles, brain chemistry, mindfulness, communication and more, creating a holistic and personalised relationship. Approaches to therapy are evidence based and following BACP ethical framework.
Therapy Overall
I offer a warm, empathetic, and dedicated safe space for exploration and healing in even the darkest of moments. My priority is listening, understanding and supporting you to build lasting change, using proven techniques, so that you have the wellness to live a more fulfilling life. Therapy is as individual as you are. As a therapeutic team, we can find solutions.
The number of sessions within the course of therapy are reviewed regularly but I am able to offer as few or as many as required.

Initial Consultation
Before starting counselling, it is helpful to have a short phone conversation. There is no charge for this.
I recommend an extended initial consultation session. This lasts around 1.5 hours and is £70. Although I do recommend it in terms of therapeutic benefit, the extended session is not essential.
Extended standard therapy sessions are charged at normal rate.
