Dr. Harriet Heath, PA Psychologist PS003784L

About Harriet

Dr. Harriet Heath brings a practical, listening-first approach to therapy. She uses clear conversation to understand what feels most urgent and where people are hurting.

From that starting point she and the client set small, realistic goals and try ways to address them. Dr. Heath holds the credential PA Psychologist PS003784L and has 46 years of experience.

Her work often focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside relationship and identity issues.

Background and approach

She also addresses trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. Many clients seek help with self-esteem, anger, midlife transitions, postpartum challenges, and coping with life changes. Dr.

Heath draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy adds practical tools for changing thoughts and behaviors, while solution-focused techniques help set concrete next steps.

Her background includes decades of practice helping people who face caregiver stress, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and family-of-origin difficulties. She also attends to multicultural factors and the specific pressures women may face. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

The emphasis is on steady, collaborative work - one small change at a time - so people can feel more capable handling family life and other pressures.

Online approaches that fit family and parenting needs

Dr. Heath uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current family life. This approach helps identify repeated interaction styles and offers ways to try new, more stable patterns.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which means sessions follow the client’s concerns and pace. That helps people feel heard while deciding what to change and when to take the next step.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides short, skills-based tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking. Those tools can be practiced between sessions and applied to parenting stress or relationship conflict.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the approach stays practical and useful.

Online sessions make this collaborative work flexible. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice conversations. Phone sessions are an alternative when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging offer short, on-the-go check-ins and reminders between longer sessions. Together these options help people fit therapy into busy family schedules and maintain steady progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
