Finding a safe space to talk can make a significant difference in how you manage life’s challenges. I offer professional therapy to help you find clarity, build resilience, and move forward at your own pace.
Life can often feel overwhelming, and talking to someone outside your immediate circle provides a fresh perspective. My aim is to support you in exploring your thoughts and feelings without judgement. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, or specific life transitions, we can work together to understand your experiences
I am Heather Sterry a registered member of the BACP, ensuring that our work together is grounded in professional ethics and high standards of care.
Taking the first step into therapy is a brave decision, and it often happens when life feels particularly heavy or uncertain. I believe that the most important part of our work together is the relationship we build. You deserve a space where you feel completely safe to be yourself, without any fear of judgment.
My approach is integrative, which means I do not use a one-size-fits-all method. I draw on different styles of therapy – including CBT and psychodynamic work – to suit your specific needs. Whether we are unpicking patterns from your past or finding practical ways to manage your anxiety today, we will work at a pace that feels right for you.
I provide private counselling and psychotherapy in Bromley and Harley Street. Providing compassionate support for anxiety and relationships, I help clients across Kent and Central London to find lasting clarity.
People come to me for help a wide range of issues. Here are a few of the more common difficulties that can be supported through counselling:
Individual therapy to help you manage anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues. We work at your pace to find a way forward.
Specialised support for younger clients 12+, providing a safe space for them to express their feelings and build emotional resilience.
Reaching out for support is a significant step. We begin with a brief, no-pressure chat to discuss what you need and how I can help. This allows us to see if my approach feels like a good fit for you or your child, and gives you a chance to ask any questions before we book a full session
The goal is to help you build resilience and a deeper understanding of yourself. Whether you are navigating life transitions or managing birth-related anxiety, we work at a pace that feels right for you. This collaborative process helps you feel more secure, grounded, and confident in your daily life.
Our work together is based on your specific needs. Whether we meet in Bromley or Harley Street, I provide a safe and confidential space for adults and children aged 12 and over. Sessions are tailored using an integrative approach, and often include the calming presence of my trained therapy dog to help you feel at ease.
Every person is unique, so I adapt my methods to suit your specific needs. By using different therapeutic techniques, we can focus on what works best for you. This allows us to address a wide range of concerns in a way that feels natural and effective.
I am a qualified counsellor holding a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and more, alongside specialist training in supporting children. My practice is informed by advanced studies in trauma, addiction, and attachment theory, ensuring I provide professional, evidence-based support tailored to your unique needs and personal growth.
I currently see clients at my main practice in Bromley and also offer sessions in Harley Street. I am also in the process of building a dedicated garden office in Bromley, which will be ready for sessions in late autumn.
“I was very happy with the support I received from Heather in helping me recover from anxiety.”
“Heather has helped turn my life around after a series of events that had happened, that left me feeling stuck and depressed, we worked with underlying issues that were holding me back. I feel eternally grateful for our sessions.”
“I had therapy sessions with Heather this year and I’m very grateful for the experience, Heather is extremely empathic and a wonderful listener, who created a supportive safe space to talk openly, she was always professional and allowed me to take things at my own pace. I would highly recommend Heather.”
“Excellent therapy, helping me develop more self-awareness and make meaningful changes in my life.”
Our first session is an initial assessment. It is a chance for us to meet and talk about what has brought you to therapy. We will discuss your goals and what you hope to achieve. This meeting also helps us decide if I am the right therapist to support you and how we might work together.
Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of my practice. Everything we discuss is private. There are very rare exceptions to this, such as if I believe there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, or if I am legally required to share information. I will always aim to discuss this with you first should the situation arise..
While it is natural to feel nervous, therapy is most effective when it is a one-to-one space. This allows you to speak freely and focus entirely on your own thoughts and feelings. For this reason, I see clients individually and do not have friends or family members join our sessions.
The “therapeutic relationship” is very important for success. During our first session, pay attention to how you feel. Do you feel heard? Do you feel safe? There is no obligation to continue if you don’t feel we are the right fit. It is vital that you work with someone you feel comfortable with.
I am available from Monday to Friday, between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm.
