About Heather
Heather Beveridge is a counsellor who brings three years of professional therapy experience to her work.

How Heather's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression and obsessive thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape patterns in later life and can help with relationship difficulties and issues stemming from insecure attachment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will discuss goals and preferences in the first sessions and then shape the way she works with the person. This is a collaborative process that may combine techniques over time to meet changing needs.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction helps. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing written conversation between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy schedules while still using evidence-informed approaches.
