Heather Beveridge is a counsellor who prioritises empathy and inclusivity. She aims to help people feel more empowered and find practical ways to improve their day-to-day lives. Heather works from a belief that people know their own lives best and supports them to make changes that last.

Heather has three years of formal experience as a counsellor, and earlier roles in psychology, social work and education have shaped her approach.

Background and approach

She draws on many different ways of working so sessions are tailored to each person. That flexibility helps when problems do not fit a single label. In sessions she listens first and then offers practical tools and gentle challenges.

Techniques may come from cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment thinking, attachment-informed work or psychodynamic perspectives. The focus is on what will help the individual feel steadier and clearer. Heather can help with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating difficulties and grief.

She also supports people dealing with gender dysphoria, prejudice and discrimination, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, phobias and postpartum depression. Parents and people managing career change or compassion fatigue are included in her remit. Sessions are available in English and Heather accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that suits them.

How Heather’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on values and small, doable steps toward a life the person cares about, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes.

Client-centred work puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s pace. This approach supports people who need a steady, understanding space to make sense of things.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Heather will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative way makes it easier to test what helps and change direction if needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a face-to-face feel and fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is wanted. Live chat and messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking.

These options aim to make therapy fit around work, family and travel and to let people choose the format that helps them engage best with the work.
