Heather Beveridge, BACP, NCPS

Heather Beveridge is a BACP, NCPS-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings three years of counselling experience alongside a long background working in psychology roles such as social work, mental health support, and education. Heather aims to create a non-judgemental, inclusive space where people can feel heard and begin making changes that matter to them.

She works in an integrative way, drawing on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas, among others. Her starting point is person-centred: the client is treated as the expert on their own life and the work is tailored to each person. Sessions focus on practical thinking patterns, everyday habits and emotional responses that affect day-to-day life.

Heather has experience helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and stress. She also supports those dealing with gender dysphoria, prejudice and discrimination, eating issues, self-harm, OCD and related obsessions and compulsions. Parenting strain, career concerns and coping with life changes are also within her range of work.

Her approach is warm and collaborative. She listens, reflects, and helps people spot patterns in thoughts and habits. That practical focus aims to make small changes that add up to a better sense of control and wellbeing.

People who prefer a calm, respectful counselling style may find her approach helpful. To begin, clients are asked to use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches that shape online counselling

Heather uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and to focus on actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from unhelpful habits.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on non-judgemental listening and acceptance so clients can explore what matters to them. That style supports people who need time to feel heard and to make sense of their feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable in sessions, and then adapt methods to fit the person's needs. The process is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

If you are considering online counselling, check which session formats are available before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also make it simpler to work with a therapist who accepts international clients, so therapy can continue even if circumstances change.
