Heather Robertson
About the Therapist
I offer a space for you - all of you - to be seen, heard, and accepted. We will explore what has brought you to therapy, and I will help you to bring greater awareness to what is happening for you. I will support you to (re)connect with yourself, allowing you to look for new possibilities and to respond to life in a more choiceful way.
I work with adults on an individual basis. My practice is inclusive of all sexualities and genders, and I work affirmatively with those who are curious, questioning, coming out, or navigating this heteronormative society as an LGBTQ+ and/or GSRD individual. I will never attempt to change, suppress, or eliminate your gender identity or sexuality. Rather, I will respect, validate, and celebrate your identities, providing a safe place for you to explore all of who you are.
These are some of the things people bring to my practice. It is by no means an exhaustive list, and nothing is too small to bring to counselling if it is causing you difficulty or distress.
- Feeling anxious
- Feeling overwhelmed, stressed or burnt out
- LGBTQ+ and/or GSRD identity
- Low confidence or low self-esteem
- Feeling stuck, trapped, or lost
- Feeling low, sad or depressed
- People-pleasing tendencies
- Life changes or periods of change
- Relationship difficulties or difficulty connecting to others
- Bi- | Pansexual
- Queer
