About Heather
Heather Oddy is a counsellor who uses a flexible, integrative approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds NCPS and draws on several therapy styles to shape sessions around each person's needs. Heather communicates plainly and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and practical.
Heather blends person-centred listening with cognitive and mindfulness-based ideas. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles alongside attachment-focused work when relationships or early experiences are relevant. This mix lets her address symptoms like low mood, worry or sleep problems, while also looking at the patterns that keep difficulties going.
Her background includes work with grief, trauma and abuse, and with people who suspect they may have ADHD. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress and career pressure. Heather mentions experience helping with intimacy and relationship concerns, eating and body image issues, and problems with anger or communication.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Heather helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small behaviour changes, and practise skills that fit daily life. She also uses exploratory conversation where that feels more helpful.
Heather continues professional development and receives monthly clinical supervision within the NCPS framework. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

How Heather's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without letting them drive all behaviour and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour and trying practical changes to reduce symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current reactions and connections. Heather will work together with each person to decide which approach, or mix of approaches, fits best. She treats that choice as a collaborative process, checking in about what feels useful and adjusting the focus as goals and needs become clearer. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make regular therapy easier to sustain. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful and make it simpler to schedule appointments at different times of day.
