Heather Staines

I am a warm, down to earth, integrative counsellor who can help you unpack, sort and process the jumble of emotions. I specialise in working with grief and loss, couples and families.

I work with adults, young people and couples to unpack the sense of being "stuck" that can often be felt in the face of grief and trauma, relationship difficulties and other life losses and changes. You might be experiencing the impact of loss in your life - because of a death, illness or traumatic life event. This might be making you feeling anxious, numb or just different from people around you who don’t seem to get it. You might not even know how you feel. I will focus on the whole you - working with you to become more aware of your mind, body and emotions. The ultimate aim, of course, is for things to feel less stressful and challenging; for you to begin to feel more content and at ease in your life. 

I offer attachment informed, integrative counselling and psychotherapy, which means we will work collaboratively in the way that is the best fit for you and your unique life situation. We usually start by making some goals and we will check in with these every few weeks to review our progress or revise them . This keeps us mindful of the bigger picture in your life story.
