About Raphaella
Raphaella Heaven is a counsellor who uses client-centred principles to support people facing depression, anxiety and stress. She writes with a calm, respectful tone and aims to create sessions that feel humane and approachable. Her name appears here so readers know who they are inviting into conversation.
She works from a humanistic stance that places the person at the centre of the work. Sessions focus on listening carefully, reflecting what matters to the individual, and shaping pace to suit them.
Background and approach
Raphaella often uses creative tools such as images, music and timelines to help people access feelings and memories they find hard to put into words. Over five years she has helped people manage grief, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, trauma and loneliness. She also supports those facing illness, end-of-life matters, identity concerns and problems such as codependency and avoidance.
Her practice addresses both practical coping and emotional processing in everyday language. Raphaella asks people to bring paper and coloured pencils or pens when creative work is likely to be used. Conversations are adapted to each person’s needs, and plans are shaped together rather than imposed.
The aim is to help people find clearer ways to cope and to feel more hopeful about change. She holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are provided from the United Kingdom.
Raphaella does not take international clients at this time.

Approaches Raphaella lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Raphaella also uses humanistic and creative methods such as images, music and timelines to make feelings easier to access. Creative work can uncover memories or patterns that are hard to describe in words and offer new ways to think about relationships, grief and identity concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Raphaella will talk with each person about their needs and goals and will adapt methods accordingly. That collaboration helps shape sessions that feel useful and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins, and messaging or chat can suit people who prefer writing or need shorter, more flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
