About Heather

Heather Kynaston is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on person-centred work and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and related difficulties.

Heather uses person-centred counselling, which centres the conversation on the client’s priorities and preferences. Sessions aim to let people speak openly about what matters to them. The approach supports people to notice their own feelings and choices and to decide what steps feel right.

In practice Heather spends time listening and reflecting what she hears. She pays attention to how clients describe their problems and what they want to change. This helps form practical next steps that fit each person’s situation.

She has worked with individuals on issues including depression, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career questions. Heather also lists experience with bipolar, ADHD, compassion fatigue and LGBT-related issues.

Heather describes the counselling relationship as collaborative. She works at the client’s pace and uses the person-centred stance to guide decisions about goals and methods. To begin, she asks about what you hope to change and what matters most to you.

How her client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's perspective at the heart of the work. The counsellor reflects what a person says and watches how they describe their feelings. This approach helps when someone wants space to weigh up options, talk through difficult emotions, or make decisions about relationships, work or family life.

The person-centred stance also focuses on respect for the client’s preferences. Heather will work with each person to identify goals and ways of working that suit them. Finding the right method is collaborative - she discusses what feels most useful and adapts as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats for online work, so please check the current options before booking. Many people value remote sessions because they can fit a session into a lunch break, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals offer online counselling to make it easier to book appointments around everyday life.
