Hello, I'm Heather.

I'm a BACP-accredited counsellor, and an advanced accredited Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversities Therapist with 5+ years of experience. I work in-person in Belper, Derbyshire and remotely via video platform.

Before training as a counsellor, I spent a decade working in consumer insights in London. It was fast-paced and demanding, and I found it exciting. Over time, I became stressed, exhausted, unfulfilled. After going through a challenging time - a combination of grief, stress, anxiety, and burnout - I sought therapy for the first time. Counselling gave me a place to slow down and connect with how I was feeling. The experience was challenging and transformative. Not only did counselling support me through that time, it also helped me to understand myself (past and present) much better. I was inspired to change career path, and I went on to train in Gestalt counselling at The Gestalt Centre (London). I volunteered with Counselling Initiatives, before opening my private practice.
