About Heather
Heather Oddy is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds NCPS and brings five years of practice to sessions. Heather aims to build a practical relationship so people can talk through what matters to them and find workable steps forward.
She draws on several therapies in session, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods. Heather adapts what she offers to each person, mixing listening, reflective questioning and guided exercises. This flexible approach is intended to help with mood, confidence, coping and relationships.
Heather has supported people facing trauma, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also works with those dealing with sleep or eating concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue and issues linked to ADHD. Her background includes work with people affected by abuse, bereavement and adverse childhood experiences.
Her training spans person-centred theories, transactional analysis, Gestalt and psychodynamic ideas, together with later study in mindfulness, ACT and CBT. Heather also holds a healer practitioner qualification and training in a trauma-focused rewind technique, which she may use when appropriate.
Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and practical ways to get there. Heather receives regular clinical supervision through the NCPS and keeps developing her skills. She offers appointments from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
How Heather's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on valued action. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical tools to shift them, which can help with worry, sleep and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relational patterns and emotional responses to improve closeness and trust in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather will talk with each person about goals and preferences and agree a way forward together. That might mean trying one method for a while or combining elements from different approaches to suit the person's needs.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or letting someone join without being on camera. Many people find it simpler to keep regular appointments this way while still working on practical tasks and emotional change with their therapist.
