About Heather

Heather Kynaston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works in a person-centred way. She focuses on each person’s needs and values, and aims to create a calm space where people can talk without feeling judged. Heather supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and similar concerns.

Her practice is grounded in person-centred counselling, which means sessions follow what matters most to the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Heather encourages people to set the pace. Conversations centre on what the client wants to explore and what feels most helpful in the moment. Over three years she has helped people talk through depression, grief, addiction concerns, self-esteem struggles and difficulties with intimacy.

She also supports clients facing career changes, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges and compassion fatigue. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people make clearer decisions and feel steadier day to day. Sessions are framed around respect and listening.

Heather works to build trust so people can name hard feelings and think about next steps. She explains options and helps clients weigh them, rather than imposing a plan. Taking the first step can feel hard.

Heather offers a calm, attentive presence and practical conversation to help people move toward clearer thinking and more manageable routines.

Ways of working Heather names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred care and online options

Heather works from a person-centred model that keeps the client’s priorities front and centre. This approach means she listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the pace the client sets. It is helpful for people wanting to make sense of anxiety, trauma-related reactions, relationship strain or broader life changes.

Person-centred counselling focuses on the person rather than a technique. Sessions are driven by what the client brings, and the counsellor offers empathy and non-judgemental listening to help people understand themselves better. That style can support work on grief, self-esteem, parenting pressures and coping with stress.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Heather will discuss the approach with clients and adapt to their needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about session style and focus are made collaboratively so the plan fits the person rather than the other way round.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and text or live chat suit shorter check-ins or times when writing helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, and give people choice about how they prefer to connect.
