Welcome to Heart and Mind, My name is Heidi
“Just being a person, trying to navigate life’s challenges can be a struggle.. reaching out for support can take a huge amount of courage.. having a safe space to share your experiences with someone who cares can be a healing experience in itself…..from ‘sitting with’ thousands of people over the years, I believe we all have the potential to suffer less and live more content lives.”

Integrity is important to us all and we are committed to good ethical practice, have regular clinical supervision with BACP and UKRC accredited supervisors and have up to date professional indemnity insurance to give you peace of mind that you are in safe hands.

Ready to start your healing journey?
At Heart and Mind we will encourage you to listen to yourself, develop kindness and patience with yourself and offer support and guidance in discovering what is right for you and what you hope to gain from therapy.
It may be that you are suffering because of painful memories relentlessly looping in your mind, or are struggling with a difficult situation and feel misunderstood by those around you. Sharing the burden of everyday stress can free you up to discover your purpose and ultimately find peace of mind.
