How Heather works online
She has training in online and telephone counselling, and can adapt person-centred skills to remote conversations. That means empathic listening, open questions and gentle pacing are offered in discussions that may feel more flexible for day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will talk with each person about what feels helpful and try different ways of working when needed. Decisions about techniques and session structure are made together based on goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Different formats can also suit quieter check-ins or sessions without video, depending on what the client prefers.
