Heidi is experienced in providing services which optimise an individual’s personal fulfillment and has a specific passion in the brain-gut field. Her own journey sparked her interest in the field of psychology and a desire to commence a psychology practice dedicated to supporting individuals with gastrointestinal conditions and eating disorders.

Heidi’s understanding of the intricate link between the brain and the gut is pivotal in her treatment approach and is aimed at healing bodies and minds across all gut and mind conditions. She is committed to ongoing research to improve patient outcomes and has structured her practice with a unique distinction in the market place.

Using specific techniques designed to influence gut function, clients are assisted to change the way the brain modulates their gut activity.
Dedicated to assisting individuals to improve their overall well-being, Heidi provides a range of therapeutic approaches including Clinical Hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Family Based Therapy, Positive Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focussed Therapy.
