About Heather
Heather McDermid is a counsellor who works within a person-centred model. She has four years of experience and holds BACP. Heather focuses on building a respectful, trusting relationship as the core of therapy.
She meets people where they are. Whether someone comes with a clear issue or is simply feeling off, she listens first and helps them name what matters. Sessions are practical and grounded, with room to talk about feelings, patterns and day-to-day struggles.
Background and approach
Heather supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship strain, coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, plus difficulties around parenting, self-esteem and addictions. Career concerns and coaching conversations are part of her offer too.
Her approach gives the client control. Conversations are paced to what feels safe and useful. The focus is on understanding the person and finding steps they can try between sessions.
People who prefer a warm, non-judgemental space tend to do well with her. Heather values clarity about goals and encourages practical problem-solving alongside emotional reflection. She aims to make therapy an understandable, steady process.
To begin, someone chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to therapist availability. Sessions are available in English for people located in the United Kingdom.

Online support
The counsellor emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the main tool for change. Sessions create space for people to be heard and to explore what they want to work on. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide which ways of working suit them best, and will review progress together as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual connection and a fuller conversation are wanted. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection, want more flexibility, or need to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to access a therapist from across the United Kingdom and to choose what fits each person’s routine.
