About Me
I’m Heather Capuzzi Sheridan, a BACP-registered counsellor working with adults who are navigating the complex, often disorienting terrain of life in transition.
I trained and have a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology and have spent the better part of two decades working in the field of human wellbeing, first within international schools across Hong Kong, Brussels and London, and now in private practice with individual adults. My approach is humanistic and person-centred, informed by mindfulness practice, and grounded in genuine curiosity about what it means to build a life that feels authentically yours — wherever in the world that life is being lived.
I know this territory personally
I’m an expat. I’ve lived and worked across multiple countries and continents, built homes in new cultures, and navigated the particular kind of groundlessness that comes with each move — the loss of the familiar, the slow work of belonging somewhere new, the question of which parts of yourself travel with you and which ones shift.
I’ve also raised three third culture kids. I know what it means to watch your children grow up between cultures, carrying multiple identities and sometimes struggling to name where home actually is.
And like many of the people I work with, I’ve moved through significant life transitions that had nothing to do with geography — shifts in role, in relationship, in identity, in the shape of everyday life. These experiences don’t sit outside my work. They sit at the very centre of it.
Who I work with
I work with adults aged 16 and over, online and in-person. My clients are often expats, internationally mobile professionals, adult third culture kids, and people moving through significant life changes — whether that’s relocation, relationship transition, the shift into midlife, or simply the quiet but persistent feeling that something needs to change.
I also have specific experience working with international school educators facing burnout and career transition. Having spent years working within international schools across three continents, I understand the unique pressures of a life where professional identity, expat experience, and personal wellbeing are deeply intertwined — and where burnout rarely arrives alone. In recognition of this, I offer reduced rates for international school educators. Please get in touch to find out more.
What my clients tend to have in common is this: they’re thoughtful, self-aware people who have functioned well across changing circumstances — but who have arrived at a point where they want more than functioning. They want to feel grounded. Settled in themselves. At peace with who they’re choosing to become.
My approach
I work in the humanistic, person-centred tradition which means I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to offer a steady, non-judgmental space in which you can think more clearly, feel more fully and move forward with greater intention.
Mindfulness runs through the way I work, not as a technique to apply, but as an orientation toward presence, self-compassion and noticing what’s actually true for you right now.
I also offer yoga and mindfulness retreats as separate experiences for those seeking embodied, grounded renewal alongside or independent of therapeutic work.
Healing. Healthy. Whole.
That’s the aspiration I hold for every client — and for myself. Not a fixed destination, but a way of moving through life with more rootedness, more self-knowledge and more room to grow.
If any of this resonates, I’d love to hear from you.
