Heather Prime, BACP

Heather Prime is a person-centred counsellor who uses a human-focused approach to help people work through difficult thoughts and everyday habits. 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 six years of counselling experience. Heather has worked for charities and in a secondary school, supporting people with a wide range of concerns. She offers straightforward, non-judgemental sessions that aim to help people clarify what matters to them and make manageable changes.

Heather commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing addictions, anger, parenting strains, career questions, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas listed include ADHD, gender dysphoria, and obsessive-compulsive difficulties.

Her work is rooted in person-centred practice, where the client’s own knowledge and goals guide the process. She can discuss creative ways of working if that would help, and often adapts her approach to what each person finds useful. Heather keeps her skills current through regular training and continuing professional development.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom. If someone is interested, Heather asks them to start by completing the site’s short matching questionnaire so they can arrange sessions that fit their needs.

How person-centred work adapts to online therapy

Heather’s practice is built around person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people access their own understanding of problems. In an online setting this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects back what is shared and helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and everyday habits.

She also uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to target thinking and behaviour that get in the way of daily life. These methods include simple strategies to spot and change repetitive thought patterns and small habit changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Such approaches are commonly used for stress, obsessions and compulsive behaviours, and for managing ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heather will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and day-to-day routine. She discusses options openly and adapts techniques over time so they feel useful and manageable.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and less travel, which can make regular sessions simpler to keep. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or for avoiding video when that feels difficult. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so arrangements match your needs.
