About Heather
Heather Kynaston is a counsellor who focuses on practical, human-centred support for people feeling overwhelmed by family and parenting pressures. She offers a calm space to talk through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and parenting concerns. Heather aims to listen first and respond to what each person needs right now.
Her approach is rooted in client-centred therapy, which puts the person's experiences and choices at the heart of sessions. She helps clients spot patterns, make straightforward decisions, and practise new ways of coping. Sessions are conversational rather than prescriptive, with the client leading the pace and topics.
With three years of professional experience in person-centred counselling, Heather has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy issues and challenges around self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue and life changes. Her work includes addressing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and eating-related struggles when these affect day-to-day family life.
Heather aims to create an open, non-judgemental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She encourages small, achievable steps and practical strategies that fit family routines. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Heather offers steady support through that process.

Client-centred work and how it translates online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflects what they hear and helps clarify feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting stress and coping with life changes.Because client-centred work emphasises the person's preferences, the therapist and client will discuss which way of working feels most helpful. Heather will collaborate on goals and try different approaches until the client finds what fits. That joint decision-making is part of the therapeutic process.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy family routines and removing travel time, which can make regular support easier to sustain. If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the exact session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Many people find that talking from home or during a lunch break helps them keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
