Consultant Psychologist | Specialist in Trauma, OCD & Affective Intelligence

Dr Heather Sequeira is a Chartered Consultant Psychologist with a distinctive focus on trauma, OCD, and the affective intelligence that often lies beneath psychological distress. With over two decades of clinical and academic experience, she integrates lived insight with evidence-based practice to challenge narrow diagnostic thinking and expand how we support complex mental health. She has a special interest in helping men.

Heather is the founder of PTSDTraumaWorkshops, a BPS-approved training platform for psychologists and CBT therapists, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham. She also works clinically within the NHS and contributes widely to national media, including BBC Radio 4, The GuardianSky News, and the World Service.

A former Senior Research Fellow at the University of London, Heather’s work bridges neurobiological, relational, and experiential understandings of trauma and OCD. She advocates for treatment models that not only reduce symptoms but attend to the meaning, sensitivity, and deep emotional processing many individuals bring to therapy.

I’m passionate about supporting men with their mental health. There still seems to be a stigma attached to men asking for help. It takes courage to seek support. I’ve run a global business so I can relate to work pressures and juggling the work-life balance. I give you confidential space to explore what’s going on for you. I offer a range of interventions in my work… like having a toolbox; depending on the issue, I use different tools to address the problem. I offer both counselling and coaching. I’m not a ‘fluffy’ counsellor; you won’t need to ‘sensor’ anything you say!”

As a chartered psychologist with extensive psychotherapy training, I know the right questions to ask, to listen to what makes you who you are, to appropriately challenge you and then to develop a way of working that will help you to achieve your therapy goals. I will use techniques adapted to you, to help you to better understand what is happening for you. We can then explore what has been blocking you from leading the life you want to lead, and aid you in developing the insight / coping skills to let you lead that life. Coming to this website you have made the first step. Make the second by booking a free initial consultation through my website.

Men sometimes carry their problems around, being strong on the outside, like a suit of armour. They leave the talking to others, often women. Your friends might be doing the same, but if you’re the one to admit it, you fear losing your credibility as a real man. There may also be an inner voice telling you to man up and not show vulnerability, but this can be part of the problem.

I think counselling can help men become better friends, partners, fathers and lovers. Learning to talk about yourself without fear of judgement can help your state of mind and relationships. When I work with men, they often find it’s a relief to finally let it all out. They feel lighter and open up to change, rather than closing down or “manning up” just to fit in.

I offer both remote and in-person appointments and have experience working with English-speaking clients who live outside the UK in all parts of the world.

Hello, my name is Richard, thank you for looking at my profile. I am a qualified integrative counsellor trained in schools such as Person Centered, Psychodynamic, CBT, Solution Focused Therapy and Transactional Analysis to create a blended and bespoke model for my clients.

I understand that each individual’s journey is unique and therapy should reflect this. I have had specific training to work with male mental health and the unique challenges that face in modern society, such as work or social stress, issues around depression, anger and anxiety, relationship and dating issues, breakups and parenting challenges. I aim to create a warm, non judgmental environment where we can identify what troubles you and how to move forward in life.

My approach is warm and thoughtful, placing my clients at ease in opening up sometimes for the first time about their personal feelings and experineces. I predominately offer a psychodynamic approach which is particularly beneficial for those who have lost meaning in their lives or have difficulty forming or maintaining personal relationships. My approach is based on the understanding that difficult experiences in the past can continue to affect the way you feel in the present. In the therapeutic relationship, we can start to explore and recognise the reasons why the things that make you unhappy seem to be repeating themselves.
