About Heather
Heather Prime is a person-centred counsellor who practises from a belief that people hold much of the knowledge they need to change. She holds a Master of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a counselling focus.
Heather is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has worked in counselling since 2015. She has spent time supporting people through anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties.
Background and approach
Her background includes charity work, roles supporting children and young people, and time working in a secondary school alongside independent practice. This variety has shaped a flexible way of working that can suit many concerns. Sessions use a person-centred approach that focuses on listening, understanding and helping people find their own answers.
Heather can offer creative ways of working if that would help you engage differently with your feelings. She also has a certificate in online and telephone counselling and experience delivering remote sessions. Heather works with a broad range of issues including stress, self-esteem, addictions, parenting pressures, anger, career challenges and ADHD-related concerns.
Additional focuses listed include gender dysphoria and obsessive-compulsive tendencies and behaviours. She is comfortable talking through intimacy-related concerns and LGBT issues. She keeps learning through regular training and continuing professional development.
If someone wants to know more about how she works, Heather invites questions and short conversations to explain her approach before starting.

Online support
Heather also uses creative methods when helpful, such as drawing or writing exercises, to open up new ways of thinking and feeling. These tools can be useful for people who find it hard to put things into words or who benefit from a different kind of session structure.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will discuss options and adapt methods to fit each person's goals, needs and preferences, so the plan evolves with the client rather than being fixed from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines and comfort levels. Video works well for full conversations and visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be a good fit for shorter check-ins, written reflection or when being on camera is difficult. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
