About Heather
Heather McDermid is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works mainly within a person-centred model and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships and depression, alongside other concerns such as grief, parenting and coping with life changes.
Heather offers straightforward, conversational counselling. Sessions aim to be time to talk through what matters and to make sense of current problems. She places importance on the therapeutic relationship and on listening carefully to each person's concerns.
Her approach suits people who want a supportive space to reflect and make decisions. She works with issues like addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and career questions. Practical everyday challenges such as coping with change or parenting strain are also part of her work.
Heather uses person-centred ideas to help people feel understood and to encourage their own problem solving. That means sessions focus on the client's priorities and experiences rather than a fixed technique. The pace is set by the person in front of her and conversations are guided by what they bring.
People interested in coaching-style conversations about goals and next steps can also raise this in sessions. To begin, clients choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How person-centred work is applied online
Person-centred therapy emphasises the client's experience and the relationship with the counsellor. Sessions focus on listening and reflecting back what the client brings, helping people clarify feelings and make decisions about next steps. This approach is often used for anxiety, stress, relationship concerns and low self-esteem.When clients are dealing with grief, trauma or life changes, person-centred work offers a steady, listening presence rather than a rigid set of techniques. That can make it easier to explore difficult feelings at a personal pace and to decide which practical steps to take next.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how sessions are felt to be most helpful. That discussion is collaborative and may lead to adapting how sessions are used over time to better meet the client's needs.
