Heather left behind a career in the marketing and design industry to retrain as an accredited Mindfulness-based Psychotherapist specialising in sleep.   

Alongside her work at The London Sleep Centre, she maintains a small private practice, providing short and long-term psychotherapy with clients across the globe.  

An important part of her work addresses the cyclical question; what comes first, poor sleep or poor mental health? 

As well as an MA in Mindfulness-based psychotherapy from Middlesex University, she has completed further training, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and is currently working towards a PGDip in Sleep Medicine at the University of Oxford.   

I am so thrilled that she has kindly agreed to have a chat with me now to share more about her journey.
