Heather Oddy works from an integrative, person-centred approach that keeps the client’s experience at the heart of therapy. She combines practical talking therapies with mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and trauma. Heather uses everyday language and aims for clear, manageable steps rather than jargon.

Heather has five years' experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She has also helped those coping with low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and career or life changes.

Background and approach

Her practice includes work around ADHD, compassion fatigue and parenting strain. Her background includes work with attachment issues and emotionally-focused ways of understanding relationships. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thought patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Heather is registered with NCPS. She undertakes monthly clinical supervision as part of her ongoing professional development.

She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. In practical terms she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Therapy follows a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies with location and therapist availability.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them. Heather aims to adapt methods so each person can explore and find their own resolution.

How Heather’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and making life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits for sleep, mood and daily routines.

Attachment-Based and emotionally-focused ideas help people understand how early patterns influence current relationships and closeness. These approaches can help with intimacy-related worries and communication struggles.

Choosing the right method is a team effort. Heather will discuss options and adapt the approach to fit each person’s goals, pace and preferences. That means trying practical exercises, shifting focus if something isn’t helping, and reviewing progress together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed reflections or need support between calls. These formats help people fit therapy around work, family routines and accessibility needs.
