About Heather
Heather Kynaston is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and anger. Heather focuses on practical ways to manage feelings that disrupt daily life and relationships.
She uses a person-centred approach. That means she pays attention to each person's preferences and values and lets those guide the work. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people talk through what matters to them without judgement.
Heather often helps with low mood, grief, problems around intimacy and self-esteem, and issues connected to addiction or bipolar disorder. She also supports people coping with career changes, parenting strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue. The emphasis is on clarifying what the person wants to change and finding realistic steps to get there.
In practice she listens for patterns in how people respond to stress and frustration. Then she helps the person try out different ways of responding. That might include pacing difficult conversations, naming emotions in the moment, or practising short strategies to reduce overwhelm.
She offers a straightforward, non-judgemental way of working. People who want clear, practical conversations about managing anger, repairing strained relationships, or handling everyday stress may find this approach helpful.
How her client-centred work translates to online sessions
Heather uses client-centred therapy online in the same way she does in person. That means conversations are guided by what the person wants to focus on. This approach helps with issues like managing anger, stress, relationship strain and the emotional ripple effects of trauma.Client-centred work is about listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions. It suits people who prefer to steer the topics and pace of each session. The therapist helps identify small, practical steps - for example naming feelings in the moment or trying shorter ways of checking in during conflicts.
Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Heather will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then adapt how she works to fit those factors. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist decide what methods to try and review how they are helping.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how Heather is seeing people at the time. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work helps people keep therapy consistent alongside work and family commitments.
