About Heather
Psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS), hypnotherapist and Registered Nurse for Learning Disabled with five years of experience listed for this practice. Heather Brown works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and career worries. She also focuses on panic disorder, panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia.
Heather says her interest in counselling began after a difficult personal period. That experience prompted her to study how emotions and reactions form, and to make changes in her own life. She now draws on that insight when she talks with people about what feels difficult and what they want to change.
Her approach is integrative. Heather uses a client-centred manner alongside behavioural techniques, solution-focused work and mindfulness. Sessions can look at both past experiences and present patterns to clarify why someone reacts as they do.
In practice she aims to identify practical steps the person can try between sessions. That might mean short behavioural experiments, focused goal-setting, or simple mindfulness exercises to try day to day. The emphasis is on straightforward techniques the person can use when symptoms such as panic or sleep problems arise.
Heather’s background also includes long experience as a Registered Nurse for Learning Disabled. This clinical history informs how she notices behavioural challenges and frames practical options alongside talking work. People can expect clear suggestions and collaborative planning in sessions.

How Heather uses evidence-based techniques in online sessions
Heather describes her work as integrative and draws on several evidence-based techniques. Behavioural approaches focus on changing unhelpful actions and routines through small experiments and step-by-step practice; these are often used for panic, sleep problems and social anxiety. Solution-focused work concentrates on clear, short-term goals and practical steps to move forward rather than lengthy analysis of the past.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Heather will discuss goals and preferences with the person and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative decision-making helps match techniques to the issue, whether the immediate need is reducing panic, improving sleep or building confidence.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week by removing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or after work. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that is useful, and reduce the need for lengthy appointments for straightforward behavioural tasks.
