Dr Heidi King

As a Clinical Psychologist I am passionate about helping people to understand why they are struggling now. Do you find despite all your best efforts you get stuck in the same patterns of relationships? Are you trying to avoid difficult memories, and is this limiting your quality of life? Are you, at times, overwhelmed with feelings of shame, anxiety or sadness? I understand the exhaustion. Looking back together at past experiences of trauma, whether these be events or within relationships, I have hope that we can understand these current patterns and offer you the support and space to find a different path.

Please contact me to arrange a free 20 minute consultation. I know this can feel like a really big step. I’d like to be there to support you on this next step of your journey.
