Client Feedback

Testimonials

“Working with Heidi has been genuinely transformative. Through EMDR and her thoughtful, professional approach, she helped me uncover and work through issues and traumas that I had carried for years without fully understanding.

I have left sessions looking out of the train window with a sense of clarity, optimism, and possibility that I had never experienced before. Heidi is warm, insightful, approachable, and exceptionally skilled at what she does.

I would not hesitate to recommend Heidi to anyone considering therapy.”

EMDR client

“I’ve had regular therapy sessions with Heidi for over six years now. We initially worked through the traumatic and sudden death of my mum, helping me process the grief of such a significant loss at just 20 years old.

More recently, we’ve been working through childhood memories using EMDR, which has helped me live more fully in the present and become less vulnerable to triggers that arise in adult life.

I couldn’t recommend Heidi highly enough. Five stars wouldn’t be enough to express my gratitude or reflect my experience.”

Trauma and EMDR client

"I’ve worked with Dr Heidi Hand through a combination of CBT and EMDR. In that time she has helped me navigate major life changes and work through both deep rooted and more recent traumas — always with warmth, skill, and genuine care.

More than anything, she is helping me build a life I truly love and know I deserve. It has been a privilege to work with her, and I look forward to continuing the journey."
