About Heather
Heather Kynaston helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in difficult relationships or coping with big life changes. She introduces a calm, open approach so conversations can feel straightforward and manageable. Heather works in English from the United Kingdom and brings three years of counselling experience to each meeting.
Heather uses a person-centred style, sometimes called client-centred therapy. That means she focuses on each person's needs and preferences and follows the pace they find comfortable.
How Heather works
Sessions aim to be respectful and non-judgemental so people can talk about painful experiences without feeling criticised. Practical concerns Heather supports include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and addictions. She also helps with relationship strain, family conflict, parenting pressures, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem and career stress.
Other focus areas listed include ADHD, bipolar, compassion fatigue and LGBT matters. In sessions Heather listens for what matters most to the person and reflects that back in clear, simple language. She works collaboratively to help people explore feelings and consider small, realistic steps forward.
The emphasis is on understanding first, then choosing ways to make everyday life feel more manageable. Taking the first step can feel hard. Heather offers a steady, accepting presence to help people find their own answers and build coping skills at their own pace.

Online support options
Client-centred care online and how it helps
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person's lead. The therapist offers a warm, accepting stance and mirrors back what the person says so they can make sense of their feelings. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and responses to trauma by building understanding and self-trust.The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and any practical needs with the person and together decide whether client-centred work or a different emphasis feels most helpful. Adjustments can be made as therapy progresses to match changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make access easier. Video calls suit deeper conversations where non-verbal cues matter, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers typed communication. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, and allow appointments without travelling.
