Heather Prime, BACP

Heather Prime is a person-centred counsellor who offers compassionate, client-led support. She holds a Master of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a counselling psychology focus. Heather is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of counselling experience. She invites people to talk about their concerns and to set their own goals for change.

Heather focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, addictions and anger. Additional areas of focus include ADHD, gender dysphoria, OCD and intimacy-related issues. She works with people who are navigating parenting challenges, career questions and major life changes.

Her approach is grounded in person-centred counselling. Sessions aim to help people find their own answers by reflecting on feelings and choices. Heather can also offer creative ways of working if that feels helpful, and she will discuss options with each person.

Heather has worked with voluntary organisations and in a school setting, gaining experience with a wide range of issues including bereavement and young people’s needs. She keeps developing her skills through ongoing training and courses. Those who choose to meet with her can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through.

If you would like to begin, Heather asks that you use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire. After that you can schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability and subscription terms.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Person-centred counselling focuses on the relationship between counsellor and person. It encourages honest listening and non-judgemental reflection so people can discover their own solutions. This approach can help with low mood, anxiety, relationship concerns and navigating life changes.

Heather also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. One common technique is talking therapies that help identify unhelpful thinking and build new ways of coping. Another is structured problem-solving work that breaks big issues into manageable steps and practical tasks between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Heather will work together with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means methods can be adjusted as work progresses.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means different ways of working, such as creative tasks or written reflections, can be blended into sessions to suit the person’s life and pace.
