I've had the opportunity to watch Heather build her counselling practice over the months, and what has always stood out to me is how much she genuinely cares about people. This isn't just a career for her – it's something she is deeply passionate about.

Heather has put an incredible amount of time, effort and dedication into developing her skills and creating a practice that truly puts people first. She has a particular heart for those dealing with grief and loss, and I've seen how committed she is to helping people navigate some of life's toughest moments with compassion and understanding.

What I admire most is her work ethic and her genuine desire to make a difference in people's lives. Anyone who reaches out to Heather for support will be met with someone who listens, cares and is fully invested in helping them move forward.

- Wayne (personal recommendation)

I had the privilege of working with Heather for six years as a psychosocial support worker, and I can honestly say she is one of the most compassionate and dedicated people I’ve worked with.

I witnessed the positive impact she had on the people we supported. Heather has an amazing ability to create a safe, calm and non-judgemental space where people feel really heard & supported. She helped many participants work through emotional and mental health challenges while empowering them to achieve meaningful goals at their own pace.

As a colleague, Heather was also supportive. Her calm, kind nature made everyone around her feel comfortable & showed commitment to always developing her skills in the quality of care she provided.

I would highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for a counsellor who is genuine, compassionate and truly invested in helping people grow and heal.

She has been a dedicated mental health (psychosocial) support worker at Closer Care for over six years, providing exceptional care to our clients. She has worked with a diverse range of clients over the years, providing them with connection, delivering holistic care, and supporting them in achieving their goals and individual outcomes.

Now a qualified counsellor, she is passionate about supporting clients through the grief process. She has exceptional listening skills. She creates a safe and supportive environment and can make you feel comfortable enough to open up and share. She knows how to really listen, acknowledge and validate feelings, and support you in the way that you need.

I highly recommend her to someone looking for counselling services. If you have experienced loss and are in a state of grief, then reach out to Heather. She's really great at what she does.
