Zoe Hedderly

The majority of my availability is Monday to Friday 9am till 5pm. 

I do offer a limited number of evening sessions, the latest time being 19:30-20:30.

All sessions are a standard 50 minutes and will be charged at a daytime rate of £60 or an evening rate of £70.  I do offer a few concessionary places on a case by case basis. 

I only work weekends in cases of emergency but I do also make provision for my clients to email me between sessions. Please enquire for further details about this. 

My areas of specialism are complex and enduring mental health difficulties, autism / ADHD, parenting children with additional needs, domestic abuse, being in a relationship with someone with narcissism and other cluster B personality disorders. Spiritual awakening / spiritual crisis / matters of faith and religion, end of life care. 

I am now offering trauma therapy and help with PTSD using a combined treatment approach of CBT, psychotherapy and EFT. I ask clients to book a block of 10 sessions which must be a full hour in duration. Please be aware that CPTSD will require a longer period of therapy. 

I also work with anxiety and depression, and am particularly interested in these conditions when they have felt unresolvable or persistent. I welcome clients with a history of alcohol and drug use. I am  kink aware and have experience of working with people who are sex workers and people who come from the BDSM community. I am LBGTQ+ aware. I am deeply interested in, and orientated towards, helping my client's build a strong sense of self, and self worth.

I qualified as a Transpersonal Integrative Psychotherapist in 2018.

Prior to that I trained in Mental Health Nursing, Clinical Psychology and Counselling.

​My vocational background has predominantly been within the NHS working in both mental health and Learning Disability Services. For several years I worked with children in specialist school settings.

The therapeutic methods I use are:

Short term counselling

Psychotherapy

CBT

Body awareness techniques

Psycho-spiritual counselling

Dream analysis

Meditation

Creative Imagination Techniques

Art

Sound

​My academic, vocational and personal experiences have led me to develop a broad and holistic view of mental health. I believe that the body, mind, emotions and spirit form a symbiotic system. Working with each of these aspects of self produces the most profound and enduring transformations.

​At the core of my approach to therapy is the belief that mental illness, and physical illness, holds meaning which needs to be uncovered in a safe and respectful manner. I believe that every human being is naturally wise, self governing and intuitive. Therapy should be a process which calls you back to your most authentic self.

I work in a very relaxed manner and prefer to be client led. I believe that establishing a safe and mutually respectful relationship is the foundation of good therapeutic outcomes. I offer a confidential, GDPR compliant space and have full insurance. 

I offer other means of support to my clients outside of the sessions such as information sheets and worksheets, videos, podcasts and links to other professionals as feels appropriate. I also offer my client's the opportunity to email me between sessions if they want to share something with me or if something difficult crops up. I don't offer therapeutic responses in writing but I will read and respond where necessary. 

Consultation sessions are charged at £30 and typically last for around 30 minutes. 

In that session we will discuss what brings you to therapy at this point in time; what you want to achieve from therapy; any previous experience of therapy. You will have the opportunity to ask me any questions you might have and we will collaboratively decide if we should work together.
