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 not feeling fully or wholly yourself.
I'm Heather (she/her), a BACP-accredited counsellor and an advanced accredited Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversities Therapist. Together we can uncover and explore what is causing you difficulty, and find a way through.
​
I offer you a space to be seen, heard, and accepted in all your wholeness. We will explore what has brought you to therapy, and I will help you to bring greater awareness to what is happening for you. I will support you to reconnect with yourself, allowing you to look for new possibilities and to respond to life in a more choiceful way.
I work with adults on an individual basis. My practice is inclusive of all sexualities and genders, and I work affirmatively with those who are curious, questioning, coming out, or navigating our heteronormative society as an LGBTQ+ and/or GSRD (gender, sex, relationship diverse) individual. I will never attempt to change, suppress, or eliminate your gender identity or sexuality. Rather, I will respect, validate, and celebrate your identities, providing a safe place for you to explore all of who you are.
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 anxious
-
Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or burnt out
-
LGBTQ+ and/or GSRD identity
-
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
-
Relationship difficulties; or difficulty connecting with others
I understand that finding the right counsellor for you can feel daunting. That's why I offer a free, no obligation 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 look forward to meeting you.
“Finding a therapist who truly sees and respects me as a polyamorous, non-binary, queer person in Belper has been incredible. Thanks to Heather's guidance, I had a safe space to explore myself and make breakthroughs I wouldn't have been able to elsewhere.”
