About Heather
Heather Kynaston is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and anger. Heather focuses on helping people talk through what is happening and find clearer ways of responding to difficult feelings.
Heather uses a person-centred approach, also known as Client-Centred Therapy, which keeps the conversation focused on the individual’s needs and preferences. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the client. She aims to create a space where people can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings without feeling judged.
In practical terms Heather helps people explore the triggers behind anger and heated reactions. She supports skills like noticing early signs of tension, practising calmer responses, and communicating boundaries. She also helps address related areas such as low mood, grief, or relationship strain that often sit alongside anger.
Her work draws on straightforward discussion and active listening rather than technical exercises. Clients can expect planned conversations that look at both what happens in the moment and longer-term patterns. Heather invites realistic goals and small changes that fit into everyday life.
If someone wants to begin, Heather asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.
How sessions work
Client-Centred practice and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. It means sessions follow what the client finds most important, using listening and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. This approach can help with anger, relationship strain, stress and anxiety by highlighting personal values and choices. The work is collaborative. Heather will help identify whether the person-centred approach fits a client’s aims and will adjust the focus as conversations unfold. Together they will decide what to explore first and what practical steps to try between sessions. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a shorter break, or to use audio rather than video when that is preferable. The exact session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a range of ways to meet, and Heather can clarify which formats she offers when you start the matching process.Areas of focus
