Person-Centred Support and Online Sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and content of work while the therapist offers empathy, acceptance, and understanding. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness, and work through concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
Alongside a person-centred way of working, Heather also incorporates coaching-minded techniques to help clients clarify goals, identify strengths, and develop practical steps toward change. Coaching-style support can be useful for career questions, self-esteem development, and managing life adjustments where structured goal-setting is helpful.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will work with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the style of sessions as trust and clarity grow. This collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit appointments around work, family, or mobility constraints, and allow people to engage from locations that feel comfortable for them. Registered professionals can adapt these formats to support therapeutic work effectively while offering practical convenience for busy lives.
