About Heather Oddy
Heather Oddy is an accredited CPCAB Counsellor and Psychotherapist who brings an integrative, person-focused style to her practice. She trained across Person-Centred, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and Psychodynamic approaches and has continued to build on that foundation with additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and work on Adverse Childhood Experiences. Heather is also a qualified healer with the Healer Practitioner Association International and has training in the Rewind Technique with the International Association for Rewind Trauma Therapy - approaches she uses selectively to support recovery from distressing past experiences that affect well-being.
Working from an integrative perspective allows Heather to adapt methods to each person's needs, blending evidence-informed strategies with client-centred listening. Her training and ongoing professional development mean she can draw on practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and the everyday difficulties that follow major life changes. She receives monthly clinical supervision and practices within the framework of the NCPS - a recognised professional register that supports legal and ethical standards.
Over five years Heather has supported people facing generalized anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, loss and bereavement, and experiences of physical and mental abuse. She has worked with individuals exploring possible ADHD alongside a wide range of concerns including grief, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, intimacy and parenting challenges, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is collaborative and tailored, with the aim of helping people explore, build resilience, and find their own pathways toward resolution and improved day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches for remote support and healing
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a more meaningful life while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems where avoidance has become limiting.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape present patterns of relating and emotional regulation. It can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and healing from attachment-related trauma.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, obsessive thinking, and many everyday challenges that affect functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Heather works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques are tailored and reviewed together as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with registered professionals offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. Remote work makes ongoing support more accessible for people balancing work, family, or mobility limitations, while still allowing therapists to use the approaches above in a focused and effective way.
