What my clients say about their experience of therapy...
RC
Heather recently helped me through a difficult time after recurrent miscarriages. She was very empathetic but also equipped me with some new ways of managing my mental health that have been very effective.
​
Heather explains the methodology behind therapy clearly which I really appreciated. She also gave me meaningful but simple 'homework' exercises which helped to reinforce the work we did during our in-person therapy sessions.
​
I would not hesitate to recommend Heather to anyone who is struggling with trauma or grief.

"Therapy with Heather has been life changing.
I can now cope with situations. I am no longer afraid of him, I no longer think of him. I can now see a future for the first time in years."

"Working with Heather has been nothing but a dream. While sessions at times have been challenging for me, Heather has gently pushed me towards dealing with the issues I was hoping to tackle. She is highly professional, considerate, and always compassionate and reasonable. Being given things to work on during the week has also meant that I have felt supported between sessions and provided with tools to help me tackle life head on and with more compassion.

"I’m incredibly happy with the sessions I had with Heather. After years of suffering & not knowing why I am the way I am she gave me validation. I feel like I connected with her on a personal level. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond in such a personal and caring manner."

"Heather helped me realise that my extreme responses and feelings were rooted in one single event, which had come on top of a period of huge personal and professional stress. I had resolutely refused to address it; pushed it away and kept it buried until panic attacks, anxiety and terrifying periods of dissociation made me realise I did need help.
Heather supported me as I finally came to grips with those experiences. She encouraged me to relive them in a supportive context and explained how my responses were in fact reasonable reactions to unusual events. She gave me explanations and tools to help me come to terms with what had happened and to cope with what comes next.
We discussed the tough stuff; she made me laugh and she made me cry, but Heather is a brilliant professional who brought her own personal touches of empathy, reality and humour to help me reframe some of the most difficult times in my life.
Thank you."

“Working with Heather has really helped me take the next step in understanding and learning to manage my anxiety. I immediately felt comfortable in the sessions (which is not often easy!) as Heather really took the time to get to know me and understand the issues I was facing, approaching each session with compassion and reassurance. She has helped me to frame my thoughts in a way that finally makes sense of them, as well as given me the tools and resources to continue my learning - all of which I am truly grateful for! I wish I’d found her years ago.”

You changed my life as a therapist. I have had a few therapists in my time but not one of them resonated with me in the way that you did. The tools you gave me during the worst time of my life I still carry with me every day. You were truly incredible and I cannot even begin to find the words to truly express how grateful I am.
SH
"Thanks to the work I did with Heather, I slept through the night for the first time in 16 years. The nightmares which have plagued me since my time in Iraq and Afghan, no longer make me wake up in the night covered in sweat. Her compassion and willingness to listen to the worst moments of my life, meant that I was finally able to put the past behind me."
DM
"My sessions with Heather have been life changing. She has helped go from feeling that my anxiety would never be within my control to being something I can manage and not rule my life. I always felt comfortable and fully supported throughout my therapy."
MC
"I am of no doubt that without your help, knowledge and expertise that I wouldn’t be in as good health and mental wellbeing as I find myself in now, so for that I would like to give you my deepest heart felt thank you!"
JC
"You have given us our son back. We will never be able to thank you"
