Kate Heavey BA (Hons) BACP Accredited - Online counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples and twos across the UK, alongside my practice based in Alfold, near Cranleigh, in Surrey.
Growing harmonious lives for individuals, couples and twos believing 'we get injured in relationship and we heal in relationship'
Online counselling offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing you to have therapy from a space that feels comfortable for you, without the added time or pressure of travel.
My work is relational, attachment-based and trauma-informed.
Before we begin, you may be asking
Is online counselling effective?
Can online therapy really help me feel or relate differently?
Is there something wrong with me that I keep finding myself in the same patterns in relationships?
Why am I unable to cope with this on my own?
Does online therapy work for couples, or for two people in relationship when we are in a home environment?
Will therapy be worth the money?
Is therapy self-indulgent?
These are really important questions, and it makes complete sense to ask them when you are considering therapy.
Many people arrive at online counselling feeling unsure, cautious, or even doubtful about whether meaningful change is possible.
What I have found in my work is that change rarely comes from trying harder alone, or from trying to “fix” yourself. Instead, it often begins through a different kind of relational experience—a “we” rather than an “I”.
Online therapy can support this process for individuals, couples, or two people in relationship. It becomes a space where patterns are not only understood, but experienced differently within a consistent and supportive therapeutic relationship.
Over time, this can gently support shifts in how you relate to yourself and to others.
And regarding affordability, I believe it is worth it because you are worth it.
How you might be feeling
You may have found your way here because something in your life or relationships no longer feels right, or because you are looking for support with emotional or relational difficulties.
You may be feeling unsettled, overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious or not quite yourself. This can show itself in your relationships, your work, or in the way you are coping day to day.
You may be experiencing:
- Relationship difficulties or emotional disconnection
- Grief, loss or bereavement
- Anxiety, stress or feeling overwhelmed
- Increased use of alcohol or food
- Low self-worth, self-criticism or self-doubt
- A sense of feeling stuck, lost or dissatisfied
Often, these experiences are the result of patterns developed over time as ways of coping and adapting, such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, avoidance, or not feeling “good enough”.
These patterns can begin in early relationships, within your family of origin, including experiences with parents, siblings or caregivers. They shape how you relate, what feels safe, and how you respond when life feels difficult.
What once helped you cope may now feel limiting or no longer supportive.
How we work together
My approach is relational and attachment-based.
What this means is that we work together to understand how your patterns have developed over time, and how they are impacting your life today—in how you think, feel, behave, and relate.
This may include gently exploring early relational experiences and family dynamics, including mother, father, and sibling relationships, and how these continue to influence present-day relationships.
Our work is both supportive and gently challenging. It offers a space where you can begin to notice patterns that may no longer be serving you, while also feeling understood within them.
Therapy becomes a relationship where you are no longer carrying everything alone.
Over time, this supports greater awareness, choice, and self-trust—and a growing sense of “I am enough.”
What you can expect
Together, we create a space that is non-judgemental and supportive, where you can:
• Bring all of yourself
• Begin to think more clearly about what is happening within you
• Process what you are carrying
• Understand the roots of patterns in relationships
• Develop more secure ways of relating to yourself and others
We begin by exploring what brings you to therapy, and what you would like to change. We then move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
Online and telephone therapy
Online and telephone counselling are well established and effective ways of working, and I have been offering both for over a decade.
Clients often find that online therapy:
• Fits more easily around work and life commitments
• Feels more comfortable within their own environment
• Allows for consistency and continuity of support
• Offers the same depth of emotional connection as in-person therapy
For many people, online therapy provides a natural and effective way to engage in deeper therapeutic work, particularly in today’s increasingly digital world.
