About Heather
Heather Oddy is an NCPS registered practitioner with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and grief, and supports those dealing with trauma, depression and relationship difficulties. Heather also works with issues around sleep, eating, parenting and career pressures.
Heather uses a mixture of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred practice. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to thoughts, emotions and patterns that keep problems going.
She has training across several modalities and continued professional development in mindfulness, psycholinguistics and motivational interviewing. Heather also practices healing approaches and has training in the Rewind Technique for trauma recovery, as noted in her background. Her work includes supporting people who suspect they may have ADHD.
Heather adapts the therapy approach to fit a person’s needs. That might mean focusing on reducing unhelpful thinking, exploring attachment patterns, or using emotion-focused work to shift how you relate to close others. She aims to help people find clearer ways to manage anger and frustration without promising quick fixes.
Clinical supervision is part of her ongoing practice under the NCPS framework. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Heather commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that matter, while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful thinking and reactivity.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape responses such as anger. Attachment work helps people notice repeated interaction styles and try new ways of connecting that reduce tension.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Heather aims to make that decision together with each person based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative selection can change as therapy progresses and as different issues come into focus.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT, CBT and attachment-focused exercises to remote sessions so practical skill-building and emotional processing continue to be central.
