Psychology for the whole person

Thoughtful, evidence-based psychological care that considers the wider picture, including mind, body, identity, culture, relationships and context. We work with both adults and children and do not believe people need to fit neatly into one box.

The people behind Asteria

Three psychologists. One shared way of thinking.

We are Heather, Jenni and Shejmin. We are clinical psychologists, colleagues and friends. Our interests differ, but we share a commitment to psychological care that is rigorous, collaborative and human.

Professional consultation

Psychologically informed consultation and reflective practice for professionals, teams and services.

Where we work

Based online and across the the North West

We are based in different parts of the North West. Appointments can be offered online, so you do not need to live near the psychologist you work with. In-person availability varies by psychologist and location.
