Hello, I'm Heather.
I'm a BACP - accredited counsellor, and an advanced accredited Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversities Therapist working in Belper, Derbyshire and remotely via video platform.
​
Before training as a counsellor, I spent a decade working in consumer insights in London, in the fast-paced, and oftentimes stressful, business world. After a challenging period - a combination of grief, stress, and burnout - I sought out therapy for the first time, and I found the experience transformative. Not only did counselling support me through that time, it also inspired me to drastically change my career path, and I went on to train in Gestalt counselling at The Gestalt Centre, London, before opening my private practice.
I attend regular clinical supervision and engage in my own personal therapy to ensure that my work remains safe, ethical and effective. As a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy), I adhere to their ethical framework and regularly attend Continued Professional Development (CPD) courses, events and workshops.

“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.”
