Welcome to Alton Psychology

My name is Dr Julia Heath and I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Accredited EMDR Therapist.

I offer Psychological Therapy in a supportive and collaborative environment. I believe that everyone has the ability to change their lives to become more positive and fulfilling. I will work with you to make this change happen.

Talking Therapy can help make change happen, as it aids the process of reflection and thinking about concerns from different perspectives. Often we can feel stuck and think that change is not possible, but the process of therapy allows this view to be challenged and so new directions can be found.

Location and Availability

For Face to Face appointments, I am based in Alton on a Thursday during the day. I offer virtual appointments on a Monday and Friday. Face to face appointments are often preferred as they provide a safe confidential space away from the stresses of life. Virtual appointments can be helpful when flexibility is needed and there is a difficulty getting to Alton. I am happy to offer both depending on your needs.

I would consider home visits to the following areas:

• Alresford
• Basingstoke
• Bordon
• Farnham
• Fleet
• Four Marks
• Hook
• Liphook
• Medstead
• Odiham
• Petersfield

Depending on the distance from Alton, there might be an additional cost for a home visit.
