Had 6 session with Heather and pleased with the transformation we’ve achieved so far with my anxiety. Heather is calm, listening, to the point and structured in her approach. The tools and techniques she recommended are helpful. I would certainly be happy to recommend her to anyone who would like to see a therapist.

I had several sessions with Heather and she has helped me hugely. She offered both compassionate understanding and concrete steps for me to take to improve things. Heather made me question some deep-seated and unhelpful behaviours without judgement and I now feel much better and very grateful to have worked with her.

I had my first session with Heather yesterday. It was also my first therapy session of any kind. Heather made me feel comfortable and safe. She was kind and nonjudgemental. She seems to know her domain well. We have booked another session and I am optimistic that she will be able to help me.

So far, I have had four productive counselling sessions with Heather. She is a very professional therapist. She is intelligent and compassionate. Heather created a safe and supportive environment for our sessions. She listened to me very well, made highly insightful observations, and quickly understood how my life experiences shaped my negative thought patterns. She introduced me a variety of useful tools and techniques tailored for me to work on myself and my personal and business goals effectively. The exercises that she gave enabled me to develop a better serving, new self-belief. Heather’s professional approach has helped me promptly progress in supporting and nurturing growth mindset. She is highly recommended! Thank you, Heather😊
