About Heather
Heather Prime is a person-centred counsellor who aims to help people find their own ways forward. She holds a Master of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a counselling psychology focus. Heather is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
She began training in 2015 and has around six years of counselling experience. Heather has worked with charities and in a local secondary school, supporting a wide range of concerns. She offers one-to-one sessions and can discuss creative ways of working if that suits you.
Heather commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports concerns around relationship difficulties, parenting pressures, grief and addiction. Additional focus areas include ADHD, gender dysphoria and obsessive-compulsive issues.
Her person-centred approach means she looks to create a non-judgemental space where the client’s own understanding guides the work. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people notice the choices available to them. Heather describes counselling as a collaborative process aimed at helping someone get to a place they feel happier with.
She keeps developing her practice through ongoing training and practical courses. To find out more about how she works or about creative options in sessions, Heather invites potential clients to ask questions before they begin.
How person-centred work and online therapy fit together
Person-centred counselling focuses on the relationship in the room. The therapist listens carefully, reflects back what they hear and helps the person identify their own answers. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns because it supports a person to notice choices and make changes at their own pace.Where there are more specific patterns of thinking or behaviour, techniques that address those patterns are often helpful alongside person-centred work. For example, approaches that help people spot and change unhelpful thinking can reduce anxiety and low mood. Other evidence-based techniques aimed at managing repetitive or compulsive behaviours can be used to help with obsessive-compulsive issues and related difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather works with each person to agree what feels most useful based on their goals and preferences. She will check in and adjust the way she works as the therapy progresses so it remains relevant to what you need.
Session practicalities should be confirmed before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to explore creative ways of working online, Heather can discuss options during the initial match and when you first meet.
