About Heather

Heather Kynaston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and trauma. She uses a person-centred style that aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. Heather offers practical support for issues such as depression, grief, addiction and self-esteem struggles.

Her work is guided by a person-centred approach, often called Client-Centred Therapy, which keeps the person's needs and values at the centre of every session.

Background and approach

That means she listens closely and follows the pace the client sets rather than imposing a fixed plan. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, finding what matters most, and developing ways to manage day-to-day challenges. Heather has three years of professional experience in person-centred counselling.

During that time she has supported people with parenting stress, anger, intimacy concerns, eating and career-related pressures. She also works with clients on neurodiverse issues such as ADHD and on compassion fatigue for those under prolonged stress. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated as BACP.

Heather aims to create a non-judgemental space where feelings can be spoken about honestly and explored at a comfortable pace. Taking the first step can feel hard. Heather offers steady support to help people clarify goals, try small changes, and build skills for coping with life transitions and ongoing challenges.

Ways of working Heather names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Client-Centred Therapy adapts to online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and following the person’s lead. In practice this means sessions concentrate on what matters most to the client, using questions and reflections to help them make sense of feelings and choices. It is suited to issues like anxiety, low mood, relationship worry and coping with life changes.

The person-centred approach places the client’s preferences and values at the heart of the work. Heather will collaborate with each person to decide how sessions should run, what goals to set, and what methods to try. Finding the right fit is a shared process and she will adapt her way of working to match a client’s needs and comfort level.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls let people read facial cues and use visual connection, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging suits quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, parenting or other commitments, while still focusing on steady progress.
