Heather Beveridge, BACP, NCPS

Heather Beveridge is a counsellor who brings warmth and openness to her work. She emphasises a person-centred way of working and aims to help people feel more empowered and happier in their lives. Heather uses a blend of therapeutic approaches to meet each person's needs. She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.

Heather describes her approach as integrative. That means she draws on several methods rather than following a single technique. Sessions focus on listening, helping people name their concerns, and choosing practical steps that fit their day-to-day life. Conversations aim to be straightforward and grounded in the client's goals.

Over three years in her counselling role, Heather has supported people with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to gender and sexual identity. Additional areas she addresses include addictions, grief, eating difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns such as hoarding, infidelity, obsessive-compulsive patterns, phobias, and postpartum depression.

Her style is non-judgemental and inclusive. Heather encourages clients to bring what matters most to them and to set the pace of work. The focus is on understanding patterns, exploring choices, and building skills that help with coping and decision-making.

Practical matters are straightforward. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. International clients may be accepted, and the subscription model used for bookings can be cancelled at any time.

How Heather's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts while choosing actions that match their values. It often suits people dealing with anxiety, low mood, or life transitions who want practical skills to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through straightforward exercises and practical tasks. It is commonly used for anxiety, phobias and depressive patterns and can produce useful tools to use between sessions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Heather will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit each person's situation. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to reflect what is helping most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be quicker to arrange and work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text suit short check-ins, reflection between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options help therapy fit around work, family and travel.
