About Heather
Heather Prime is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She trained in counselling and psychotherapy to master's level and also holds a BSc in Psychology with a counselling focus. Heather works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, anger, career worries, life changes and ADHD.
Heather uses a person-centred way of working. She believes clients hold much of the knowledge about what will help them and she helps them bring that into view. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to the client. She offers practical options and can discuss creative approaches when appropriate.
Her background includes volunteering and paid roles at charities and a placement in a local secondary school. That experience included supporting adults and young people with a wide range of concerns such as bereavement, eating disorders, OCD and neurodiversity-related needs. Heather keeps her skills current through regular continuing professional development days and workshops.
She has formal training in online and telephone counselling and has completed additional courses on bereavement care, working with suicide and self-harm, and supporting autistic clients. Heather can explain her way of working and answer questions about session structure before the first meeting.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How Heather uses evidence-based approaches online
Heather practises person-centred counselling online, which means sessions centre on what the client finds most important and the counsellor helps draw out that understanding. This approach supports work on anger by focusing on a person's values, responses and what they want to change in day-to-day life.She has also completed training in telephone and online counselling and can use creative tools when helpful. For example, simple exercises or reflective tasks can be shared across sessions to help people notice patterns in their temper and try alternative responses between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heather discusses options with each client and decides together which methods suit their goals and situation. That collaborative process lets the counsellor adapt session pace, tools and focus as understanding grows.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions around work or family routines and avoiding travel time. Telephone sessions can be a shorter check-in when days are busy, while video meetings allow face-to-face conversation when preferred. Confirm the exact session formats offered before booking so arrangements match your needs and daily commitments.
