About Heidi
She describes a mix of talk work and body-focused methods. Sessions look at how life events shape feelings and relationships. Heidi uses somatic practice, attachment-based approaches, expressive therapies and parts work alongside conversational therapy to help people notice patterns and reactions.
Her background includes a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy and certification as a HeartMath Practitioner, with additional training in the biology of trauma. That combination guides her focus on nervous system support as well as exploring personal history and relational patterns.
In practical terms, Heidi helps people build coping strategies and small routines to manage overwhelm. She also works on communication skills for relationship difficulties and supports people living with chronic pain or illness to reduce caregiver stress and burnout.
Clients can expect a collaborative style that looks at symptoms and their origins. Heidi helps people identify steps they can try between sessions and ways to track what does and doesn’t help. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Heidi draws on evidence-based, body-informed practices alongside conversational therapy. Somatic practice focuses on bodily signals and gentle regulation techniques; it can help when stress or trauma shows up as tension, panic or shutdown. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds influence present reactions and communication.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. She will talk with you about needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as progress and feedback guide the plan. That means trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting based on what feels useful.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy life and fewer travel demands. Details about which session formats are offered should be confirmed before booking. This discussion will also cover session length, scheduling and how to manage shorter check-ins when time is limited, so the therapy can fit around work, caregiving and health commitments.
