Welcome.
​
Life can be overwhelming. Perhaps things are feeling too much right now, but you are telling yourself that you *should* be able to handle it. Maybe you are unsure how you feel, but you know you are not feeling fully yourself; or perhaps you don't know what "you" feels like any more. Maybe you have lost touch with what you want, focusing instead on what people around you want. Sometimes this can leave us feeling lost or stuck, lonely and exhausted, and unsure where to turn.
I'm Heather (she/her), a BACP-accredited counsellor and an advanced accredited Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversities Therapist. I support people to reconnect with themselves, and get in touch with who they are and what they really want, allowing them to live life in a more fulfilling way. Together we can uncover and explore what is causing you difficulty, and find a way through.

I work with adults on an individual basis, both in-person and online. My practice is inclusive of all sexualities and genders, and I will never attempt to change, suppress, or eliminate your gender identity or sexuality. I will welcome your identities and will provide a space for you to explore all of who you are.
​
Some people come to me questioning who they are. Others want to explore coming out, or navigating life as an LGBTQ+ person. Other times, sexuality or gender identity isn't what someone wants to talk about, but they want to be able to talk about all aspects of their life to someone who gets it.
Here are some of the things that people bring to my practice. It is by no means an exhaustive list, and nothing is too small to bring to counselling if it is causing you difficulty or distress.
​​​
-
Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or burnt out
-
LGBTQ+ and/or GSRD identity
-
Feeling anxious
-
Feeling stuck, trapped, or lost
-
Feeling low, sad, or depressed
-
Low confidence or low self-esteem

People-pleasing tendencies
-
Life changes or periods of change

I understand that finding the right counsellor for you can feel daunting. I offer a free 20-minute telephone call for us to meet one another and see whether it feels right. If you are ready to take this first step, then fill out the contact form, or send me an email at heather_robertson_counselling@outlook.com. I aim to get back to all enquiries within two working days (remember to check your junk folder). I look forward to meeting you.
