The Attuned Room

Integrative psychotherapy that adapts and grows with you.

Based in South Birmingham & online.

Hi, I'm Heidi

If you’ve landed here and something resonates, I’m really glad our paths have crossed. 

You’ve probably spent some time scrolling through therapist profiles, perhaps not quite sure what you’re looking for — just hoping something feels right. I understand that feeling because I’ve been there too.

Finding the right support can feel like a big step, whether it’s for you, a young person in your life, or your whole family. I hope this space gives you a clear sense of who I am and how I work.

I’m Heidi, a qualified integrative psychotherapist with specialist training in working with children, young people, families, schools, and students in higher education. I also work closely with adults on a variety of different topics and presenting needs.

I’m registered with ADMP, BACP, and UKCP, which means I’m licensed to practice psychotherapy and hold an MA with a specialism in working with children and young people.

Integrative Psychotherapy

Integrative Psychotherapy

So you’ve decided to look for a therapist — but now you’re faced with so many different approaches, it can feel overwhelming to figure out what they actually mean for you.

Humanistic, Psychodynamic, EMDR, Person-Centred, Arts Based, Jungian, Gestalt, Interpersonal, Transactional Analysis, Existential, CBT. The list goes on and on!

Integrative psychotherapy is like a melting pot of different methods, allowing us to find what works best for your unique needs. If one approach doesn’t feel right, we can adapt.

My work is rooted in relational, attachment, trauma, and somatic approaches. I pay close attention to the key relationships and experiences — past and present — that have shaped how you see yourself, others, and your place in the world, as well as how these feelings may also show up in your body.

I often bring creative tools into sessions, such as art, storytelling, sand tray, and movement, to help you explore your thoughts and feelings.

But if a relaxed conversation over a brew feels more comfortable, that’s welcome too.

I also have particular experience supporting neurodiverse clients, people involved in adoption and fostering, attachment difficulties and abuse, and young people who have displayed or been impacted by harmful sexual behaviour, along with their families.

Psychotherapy Services

  • Child & Adolescent

    In-person sessions designed to engage children through play and creative, child-centred approaches. These sessions provide a supportive space to help your child express, process, and make sense of their emotions and experiences. I ensure a close working relationship with parents/carers to ensure child safety is the focus of all therapeutic work.

  • Teens

    In-person or online sessions for ages 13-17 that blend creative and conversational approaches, helping your teen navigate their emotions, challenges, and growing needs in a supportive space. I work closely with parents/carers to ensure the safety and well-being of the teen in line with maintaining confidentiality.

  • Parents & Family

    Individual parent or wider family-focused sessions to help parents better understand and respond to their child’s needs. These can take place alongside individual child or teen therapy (with the young person’s consent) or as part of wider psychoeducational support for the family.

  • Individual Adults

    Online or in-person psychotherapy for adults. This work often includes inner child exploration, helping you understand how past experiences and relationships may be influencing your present. Depending on your interests, I may incorporate creative techniques such as sand tray work, to gently access unconscious themes, think of this as Play Therapy for adults. Clients are welcome to explore these approaches as part of their therapeutic journey if they wish, though there is never any pressure to engage in these methods. Together, we will identify recurring patterns and themes to support you in building emotional resilience and psychological insight.

  • Schools

    Workshops for school staff on topics including early signs of mental health difficulties, restorative approaches to conflict, child and adolescent development, identifying and addressing harmful sexual behaviour, and supporting emotional regulation. Other trainings available upon request.

  • Organisations

    Mental health training and workshops for corporate teams, topics to be discussed on individual basis.

  • Inclusivity & Diversity Support

    I offer support to parents and carers who are navigating the neurodiversity pathway for a child or adolescent. If you're unsure how to begin the EHCP process, I can provide guidance and, where appropriate, contribute to an application following a period of therapeutic work. I also work directly with children and young people who are waiting for CAMHS support, offering therapeutic input during this interim period to help reduce stress and support family wellbeing. This is offered on a case-by-case basis following an initial assessment for suitability.

Types of sessions

  • Sometimes, you just need a space to talk, free from those you already know. A one-off session offers exactly that: a confidential, supportive environment where you can offload, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

    Whether you're looking to explore your feelings, gain clarity, or dive deeper into how your body and mind are responding to life right now, this session is shaped around what you need. It can be solution-focused, insight-driven, or simply a space to be heard.

    Before we meet, we’ll agree on the focus so we’re aligned — making the most of our time together.

  • 50 mins, also known as the ‘therapy hour’. Come weekly or fortnightly, online or in-person.

  • Once I receive your enquiry I will reach out to arrange an initial chat, this is held virtually Instead, we’ll have a free 20-minute chat, perhaps over a cup of tea (virtually or face-face) or, if it’s a young person, while playing a game of Connect 4 or Lego. It’s simply a chance for us to get a sense of each other and see whether I’m the right person to support you.

    If we decide to work together, we can then arrange your first session and take it from there.
