About Heather
Heather Prime is a person-centred counsellor with six years' experience. She holds a Master of Science in Counselling & Psychotherapy and a BSc in Psychology with a counselling psychology focus, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). Heather works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting pressures, anger, and related concerns.
She practised with charities in Worcestershire and provided school-based support at a local secondary school while running a private practice. Her background includes work with adults and young people on issues such as bereavement, eating difficulties, suicidal thoughts, OCD and ADHD related concerns. She also lists gender dysphoria, obsessions and compulsions among focus areas.
Heather uses a person-centred approach, which means she treats the client as the expert on their own life. Sessions aim to help people find their own clarity and direction rather than being told what to do. She also offers several creative ways of working when that feels useful, and these options can be discussed in session.
She has completed a certificate in online and telephone counselling and attends regular continuing professional development events. Heather’s training includes work on bereavement, suicide and self-harm, autism, and the impact of childhood bullying.
Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom. The site uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and Heather does not accept international clients. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Heather uses person-centred work online
Heather’s stated approach is person-centred, which focuses on listening and helping people reconnect with their own understanding of what will work for them. In practice this means the counsellor asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients notice options and next steps. This approach can be useful for anger, relationship strains, grief and low mood.She also draws on skills from her broader counselling training and continuing professional development. That training covers themes such as bereavement, working with suicidal thoughts and self-harm, autism, and the impact of childhood bullying. Those elements inform how she frames questions and supports people when difficult feelings are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heather will help clients and counsellors agree which methods to try based on the client’s goals and preferences, and she can introduce creative methods if that suits the client. This is a collaborative process where methods are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
The biography records a certificate in online and telephone counselling but does not list every session format. Confirm the exact online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel by removing commute time, and telephone sessions can allow a shorter check-in when that is helpful.
