"I'm incredibly grateful for your dedication to my well-being, and I can't thank you enough for being there for me. Your compassionate guidance and the safe space helped me explore and understand my emotions. I was able to achieve incredible personal growth I didn't think I could".

"When I needed someone to talk to most, Heather was there. During my toughest times, she guided me through them with professionalism and genuine warmth. Her support helped me not only navigate challenges but also gain a deeper understanding of myself, especially during moments of self-doubt. Heather's a rare combination: a highly professional therapist who also creates a warm and supportive environment for self-discovery and growth."

"My sessions with Heather, made a genuine improvement to how I view myself. She helped me to work through issues around my self-confidence and practice self-kindness through a period in which I suffered bouts of anxiety and depression. Heather encouraged me to lead sessions and frequently checked in to ensure the style suited me. Most importantly she was kind and gentle. As I felt my confidence improve, I could feel that she celebrated this transition with me."

“I was very apprehensive about therapy but knew I needed a bit of external support. After the first couple of sessions, I found myself looking forward to my time with Heather and I found that opening up to her was very easy. She helped me through a very difficult time in my life, and also helped me understand more about myself more generally so I could cope with daily challenges. I couldn't recommend her more.“

"Prior to our sessions, I had no experience with therapy. Quite frankly, I was unsure whether it would work at all, and at the time I was almost certain that I was not suited to it. All of these doubts, however, were quelled after our first few sessions. The credit here, I believe, should go to Heather, not therapy in general. I consider myself to be socially anxious, but Heather's warm and friendly demeanour meant that, in very little time, I felt incredibly comfortable. It is through this warmth that a relationship of trust was effortlessly established, and I was able to be completely open and honest, allowing me to get to the root of my problems without the worry of judgement. I quickly began to look forward to our sessions rather than the dread I usually feel when facing social situations. Heather takes a more holistic approach to therapy, meaning that it can be constantly adapted to fit you personally, also it means that you are not restricted to one approach that may or may not be suited to you, which is incredibly helpful if it's your first time experiencing therapy. During our eight months of sessions, Heather gave me a greater understanding of my problems (which to me is crucial), provided me with numerous coping mechanisms, and, perhaps more importantly, altered my mindset as well as perceptions of myself and the world around me. These things are invaluable. Prior to therapy, I was in a terrible place, and even though I am not magically anxiety free, I am in a much better condition to deal with it. There is still room for me to improve but my life has improved immeasurably since undergoing therapy. All I would say, if you are cynical like me, is give it a go. Leave your prejudices and preconceived notions at the door and throw yourself into it entirely, and like me, you may be surprised by what can be achieved through therapy."

“I was new to therapy before beginning my sessions with Heather. At first I was anxious but Heather’s warm and calm mannerism made me feel totally at ease, enabling me to speak openly about my difficult experiences with PTSD and anxiety. Not only did Heather create a non-judgemental space where I could speak openly and feel listened to, but she also helped me understand what was happening to my brain during times of distress and gave me the appropriate resources and tools so that I can support myself in these moments. I can’t recommend Heather’s services enough!”

“I am beyond grateful for the dedication heather put towards helping me through my anxiety. I felt myself grow in confidence and have been able to get back to doing the things i love with a positive attitude. I would always look forward to our sessions and couldn’t recommend her services more.”

“Heather has continuously been a safe space for me, one that I have never felt judged in. She respected my boundaries and was always mindful of how I wished our sessions to go - she was always ready to validate my emotions and made sure I didn't feel alone in what I was feeling. Despite not having experience in working with someone with medical trauma, she was incredible in the work we did together. She made me feel proud in the progress I had made and helped me feel less alone. As a young person, I always felt respected and never talked-down to. She is selfless and open-minded, allowing me to talk about things I had difficulty talking to other people about. With her help I was able to heal more than I thought I was capable of, and able to process the difficult emotions that came with my experiences. After a year of working together I felt I had the skills to be able to handle daunting situations and emotions, and to feel more sure of myself.“
