Heidi is a Narrative Therapist who works alongside people to explore the stories shaping their lives, with the understanding that the person is not the problem – the problem is the problem. Together, she works with clients to unpack what has been going on and reconnect with strengths, values, and meanings that may have been overshadowed.

Narrative Therapy is at the heart of Heidi’s practice. This means she centres each client’s voice, knowledge, and lived experience, and is interested in the skills and resilience they already carry – even in the midst of difficulty. Her work is about helping people make sense of their experiences and begin to build richer, more preferred stories about who they are and where they want to head.

Heidi offers a warm, non-judgemental, and collaborative space where clients can feel heard, respected, and not rushed or pathologised. She may be a good fit for those looking for a thoughtful and respectful space to make sense of their experiences and move forward in a way that feels true to them.
