Dr Heidi Hand

Specialist Psychological Therapy

How I Work

I offer specialist clinical, health and neuropsychology services for adolescents and adults, with therapy tailored to your needs, goals and circumstances.

I provide individualised psychological therapy online for people experiencing a range of mental health difficulties. I also offer specialist treatment for persistent physical symptoms, including Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), alongside neurorehabilitation services.

Therapy begins with understanding

Therapy is a personal experience, and I understand it can feel daunting to reach out for help. I offer a free 10-minute consultation, giving you the chance to ask initial questions and see whether I feel like the right fit, without any commitment to begin therapy.

If we decide to work together, therapy begins with an initial assessment. During this appointment we will discuss your current situation, relevant background history and your goals for treatment.

A collaborative approach

My specialist experience allows me to bring clinical expertise and clarity, but I also believe that you bring expertise in your own experience. Together, we can make sense of your struggles and develop a treatment plan that feels meaningful and achievable.

I aim to be flexible wherever possible. Many therapists ask clients to keep the same appointment time each week. I can do this if it is your preference, but I also offer the option to book appointments as and when they fit with your schedule.

Ways we can work together

  • Online psychological therapy across the UK
  • Support for adolescents and adults
  • Clinical, health and neuropsychology services
  • Specialist treatment for persistent physical symptoms and FND
  • Neuropsychological assessment and treatment
  • Some face-to-face appointments where online therapy is not suitable

Evidence-Based Therapy

Flexible, integrative treatment

I use a range of evidence-based approaches in my clinic. I support clients to heal from the past, build tools to manage the challenges of life in the present and develop confidence for the future.

I believe in the benefits of working integratively and flexibly, ensuring therapy is personalised to all your needs rather than being limited to a single model.

I help my clients build a meaningful and fulfilling life despite the stressors that the modern world can bring.

Approaches I may draw upon

  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Schema Therapy
  • Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed therapy

Online therapy across the UK

I am based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, and offer online therapy so that clients can access my services throughout the UK. I also offer some face-to-face appointments for those unable to access online services.

If you are a therapist seeking clinical supervision, I also offer supervision services.
