About me

I'm Heather Murray, a counsellor, psychotherapist, and holistic wellbeing facilitator. My work blends professional experience with creativity, mindfulness, and movement, giving you multiple ways to explore your thoughts, feelings, and body awareness.

I have over 25 years' experience in the NHS and private practice. I integrate:
Compassion-focused therapy for ADHD symptoms
EMDR for trauma processing
Mindfulness and MBCT for anxiety, depression, and stress
Music Therapy and creativity for expression beyond words
Yoga-based practices for nervous system regulation and embodiment

I have a particular focus on supporting neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ clients, guiding you to navigate life with gentleness, creativity, and self-compassion.

What to Expect

Therapy can feel unfamiliar, especially if it's your first time. Here's what working with me looks like:
We start gently: First session focuses on you, your comfort, and your goals.
Choice and flexibility: Online; talking, music, movement, or writing � whatever suits you.
Pace and consent: You guide what we focus on.
Whole-person approach: Mind, body, and spirit are all considered. We may use mindfulness, gentle yoga, or creative expression.
Non-verbal options: Music therapy, songwriting, and sound-based work.
Confidential and safe: Everything shared is private and supported by professional ethics.
My aim is to help you feel seen, understood, and supported � not judged or rushed.

I also offer:
Clinical supervision and professional consultation
Creative workshops and wellbeing events
Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery courses and ADHD Calm - an EMDR-informed course for emotional balance

Cultivating kindness and caring for your needs
You might be feeling anxious or stressed, questioning a relationship, or sensing that life hasn't unfolded as you hoped. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters to you.
Counselling can support specific concerns such as bereavement or loss. Psychotherapy can offer a deeper process of understanding, acceptance, and change.

My role is not to �fix� you, but to walk alongside you � offering perspective, skills, and steady support as you find your own way forward.
