About Heather
Heather Beveridge is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who describes herself as non-judgmental and inclusive. She aims to help people feel safer in themselves and move toward lasting change. Heather brings a background in psychology and care work to her counselling practice and uses a person-centred stance to guide conversations.
Heather worked for many years in roles across psychology, social work, mental health support and education before focusing on counselling.
Background and approach
That varied history gave her experience with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, self-harm, addiction, trauma, eating difficulties and gender dysphoria. She also has practical experience supporting people with ADHD, autism and challenging life events. Her main way of working starts from the idea that each person knows their life best.
Heather combines that person-centred approach with techniques drawn from other therapies. She uses tools from cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches when these fit a person’s needs. This mix lets her adapt sessions to each individual rather than follow a fixed formula.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the person in front of her. Heather aims to make people feel heard and understood so they can explore what matters to them. She focuses on building trust, looking at patterns that keep people stuck, and trying new ways of responding to problems.
People often come for help with parenting, relationships, grief and work stress as well as specific difficulties such as obsessive thoughts or postpartum depression. Heather describes her role as a collaborator who supports people while they find their own solutions.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values and can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships that affect how people connect and feel safe with others. It can be useful for addressing insecure attachment, relationship strains and difficulties that stem from early caregiving experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will listen to your goals, preferences and day-to-day realities and suggest which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can change as you progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you use face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter updates, notes between sessions or for people who prefer writing to talking.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and everyday life while still using ACT, attachment ideas and person-centred practice to guide the process.
