Online, telephone and ecotherapy counselling across the UK, based in Alfold, Cranleigh, Surrey and Throwley, Faversham, Kent. Kate Heavey BA (Hons) FdSc BACP (Accredited).
Where and how you access counselling matters as does choosing the right therapist for you.
Online, Telephone and Outdoor Therapy
Choosing to work this way often means you are looking for the privacy of your own space, alongside convenience and flexibility around timings. It can free up your evenings, and lets you choose the way of working that suits you best, whether that is online, by telephone, or outdoors.
Online Counselling across the UK
I offer online counselling via Zoom and other secure platforms, for individuals, couples and twos across the UK. Being on screen can bring its own kind of closeness, and works well if you want to see and be seen during sessions.
Online work can offer flexibility, privacy and ease, particularly if you are balancing work, family life or other commitments. It can also make counselling more accessible if you are not local to Surrey. I have been working online for many years, and the space feels as contained and focused as it would in person.
Telephone Counselling across the UK
Telephone sessions work well if you find video calls tiring, or if you simply prefer not to be on camera. Some people find it easier to speak openly when they are not watching a screen, or being watched.
You can take a telephone session from wherever suits you, at home, in the car, or out on a walk, as long as you have privacy and a good phone signal. It removes a layer of self-consciousness, and the conversation keeps its depth.
Ecotherapy in Alfold and Loxwood, Surrey
With ecotherapy, nature works alongside us.
Walking side by side, or sitting looking out onto a view, can change the shape of a session. Feeling less self-conscious, clients often find something shifts that stillness in a room may not quite reach.
Trees release naturally occurring compounds called phytoncides, understood for decades to strengthen the immune system and calm the nervous system, so simply being outdoors aids therapy before a word is even spoken.
Walking outdoors has long been linked to lower stress, improved mood, better sleep, and sharper focus, alongside easing the body out of fight or flight and into rest and digest. For some, movement itself can loosen something that stillness in a room does not reach.
Availability and Location of Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk and talk therapy is offered in the last session (3.30pm) of the day.
As routes need to be risk assessed, walk and talk therapy is only available from Loxwood and Alfold in Surrey.

Closing thought
There are 3 ways you can reach the same place. Online, phone, or side by side walking in the outdoors.
What matters isn't which way you choose, it is that you choose.
