About Heather Darwall-Smith
Heather Darwall-Smith is a UKCP-accredited and registered psychotherapist offering weekly psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic coaching online for adults. She specialises in sleep difficulties, working with a structured approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), somatic awareness, and mindfulness-based methods to help clients navigate the root causes of sleeplessness.
Heather blends psychotherapy with compassion-focused and mindfulness-based approaches, supporting clients across a wide range of issues including anxiety, stress, and trauma. She offers general counselling sessions, CBT standard sessions, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, alongside breathwork and holistic massage to support embodied wellbeing. Her work recognises that sleep difficulties, anxiety, and stress are often gateways into deeper exploration around trauma, identity, and personal growth.
Whether you're seeking long-term psychotherapy or focused sleep coaching, Heather creates a space where your experience is held with care and understanding. Her integrated approach combines talking therapy with somatic and embodied practices, helping you reconnect with better sleep, greater calm, and a stronger sense of self.
