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 work as part of a team of online specialist clinical psychologists. We use technology to maximise each session you have and keep you well. We divide ourselves up into areas of expertise – so if you’ve experienced something traumatic, for example, the best professional care you can receive is from a clinical psychologist who has chosen to specialise in trauma. My expertise is OCD, BDD and obsessional and anxiety difficulties, such as perfectionism.

John Ridley

Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, CPCAB
Years in practice: 3
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Counselling, psychotherapy and coaching in Soho, London and online.

Therapy for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and sexuality issues, substance use, health conditions and HIV.

Many of us experience low mood, stress or anxiety in our lives and the talking therapy that I offer provides a safe space to really help. Sometimes clients just can’t put a finger on what is troubling them or causing them to feel blocked – early stages of our work together would sensitively explore this and help to establish goals so that you can, over time, appreciate your progress.

I have specific Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training to help you if you are experiencing sleep problems, panic, phobias, and some forms of trauma and OCD.

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!”

I have been working as an integrative therapist for over 10 years and tailor my way of working to meet your needs. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy.

Are you struggling with life and having difficulty finding hope for your future? Do you feel down or angry, struggling to find joy and fulfilment in life? In therapy we work together to identify the causes and find solutions. Are you tired of repeating self-destructive behaviours? Do you feel stuck and unable to move on? Unhealthy habits can develop that lead to us feeling trapped. I create a safe, non-judgmental space in which you are able to identify your problems and find ways to change.

My website has more information where I also offer a free 20 minute introductory call.

I am a Gestalt Counsellor (regsitered with BACP) and started seeing clients in 2013. This was through placements at Hampshire charities No Limits (young people) and Cruse (bereavement). From 2017 to 2019 I set up and ran a counselling service with London charity Positive21 (HIV). I am co-author of “Strength to Talk” which is dedicated to men’s mental health with all proceeds going to the charity Mind.

Anyone interested in counselling can have a free consultation session (30mins) to ask any questions and check that we could make progress.

After that I work online via “Psychology Today Sessions” (encrypted video service) each session lasts 50 minutes.

The model I use is Gestalt/Humanistic theory.

BSc (Hons) Humanistic Counselling, Metanoia Institute
Years in practice: 3
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why you react the way you do? I can help you understand your emotions, break old patterns, and feel more grounded, confident, and in control.

I’m a qualified Humanistic counsellor working in Tring, Leighton Buzzard, and online. I help adults untangle their emotions, understand their patterns, and move toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and fulfilling.

In practice, this might mean I reflect what you’ve told me so you can hear it in a new way, ask questions to clarify your thoughts, or offer a different perspective for you to consider. Sometimes we might work through compassion exercises, thought experiments, or mindfulness tools like breathing and grounding techniques. Whatever helps.

I work using the Person-Centred (or Humanistic) approach, which is often referred to as the “how does that make you feel?” style of therapy. However, a more accurate description would be I focus on building a supportive relationship where we can view the world from your perspective, and we work together to make changes that you want. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and have the ability to solve your own problems but recognise that sometimes an “outsiders” support and perspective can be helpful. I aim to create a non-judgmental safe space to explore your world using empathy, honesty and unconditional positive regard helping us to work through the thoughts, feelings and issues that are impacting you.
