About me

Portrait image of Heather Rees Counsellor

My Journey

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent over 20 years working in education — an experience that deepened my understanding of people, personal development, and the value of human connection. I also bring the perspective of a cancer survivor, which has strengthened my empathy, resilience, and appreciation for life’s challenges and turning points.

My Work

I work with adults facing a range of issues, including bereavement, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I am passionate about supporting neurodiverse clients and am dedicated to promoting equality, diversity, and accessibility in my practice.

My Experience

As an ethical practitioner, I am frequently updating my areas of experience through professional development. If you would like to get in touch, I am happy to explore how I can meet your individual needs.
