About

About Heather

Heather Beveridge draws on decades of experience in education and social care to offer steady, person-centred counselling. She introduces herself with warmth and aims to help people feel more empowered and content. Heather works to make therapy practical and focused on changes clients can live with day to day.

Before becoming a counsellor Heather spent many years in roles across psychology, social work and education. That background includes work as a lecturer, a social worker, a mental health worker and a special educational needs teaching assistant.

Background and approach

This mix of settings gives her a broad practical perspective on common life stresses. Heather describes her base as person-centred, meaning she treats each person as the expert on their own life. She also uses an integrative approach, drawing on techniques from different therapies to match what a person needs.

She commonly uses methods from cognitive behavioural work, psychodynamic thinking and attachment-informed ways of understanding relationships. She has experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and self-harm, as well as work around ADHD, gender dysphoria and issues linked to prejudice and discrimination. She also supports people dealing with relationship problems, addictions and compulsive behaviours.

Sessions aim to help people feel heard and understood while working on practical steps forward. Heather is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years' documented experience practising as a counsellor.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can assist with anxiety, low mood and decisions about life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current trust and emotion regulation; it can help with insecure attachment styles and relationship worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means techniques can be tailored as the relationship develops and as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats Heather currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. They also let people work with therapists who are located elsewhere, including international clients, while still focusing on the same therapeutic methods and goals used in face-to-face work.
