About Heather
Heather Oddy is a counsellor with five years' experience who draws on a mix of humanistic and evidence-informed approaches. She is listed with NCPS and works in the United Kingdom. Heather focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anxiety, improve sleep, and recover from trauma and loss.
She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed and person-centred work. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the client and on developing small, doable changes that fit daily life. Heather also draws on mindfulness practices and elements from emotionally focused work when relationships and intimacy are a concern.
Clients often come with worries about depression, grief, parenting strain, work stress, or difficulties with concentration and possible ADHD. Heather describes supporting people through bereavement, abuse, chronic health problems, and the practical impacts of trauma. She also offers help for body image, eating concerns, and coping with major life changes.
Her practice blends talking therapies with creative and experiential tools when they suit the situation. Heather meets regularly with clinical supervision under the NCPS framework. This helps her reflect on cases and keep her practice accountable.

How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps towards those values while learning simple ways to sit with difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, insomnia and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on patterns formed in close relationships and how they affect current ways of relating; it can help when intimacy or relationship fears are getting in the way.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Heather will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows people to continue therapeutic momentum when life circumstances make attending in person difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and behavioural experiments to suit remote sessions and everyday routines.
