Hedi read physics with psychology at university and spent many years running a family business, which gave her a hands-on, close-up appreciation of family relationships. Her experience and understanding of family as the first place of learning brought her back to the field of psychology. After completing an MA in Psychoanalysis, followed by an Advanced Certificate and Diploma in Individual Psychology and Adlerian Counselling, Hedi became a full time therapist.

Hedi does not subscribe to one particular approach or model of counselling or specialise in one specific area; she’s extremely intuitive and tailors sessions to the needs and issues of individual clients. By integrating different methods and blending therapies, she helps clients make sense of their own life experiences. Her integrative and humanistic way of working helps individuals to recognise their own strengths and personal resources, which in turn empowers them, ultimately, to become their own therapist.

Hedi helps clients to harbour their own creativity, advocating free expression and encouraging the sharing of ideas. Ms Threlfall, an artist, finds that working with paint or clay, walking in the country and listening to music help her to relax and find new ideas.

Find her at Practices in St John’s Wood and just outside Saffron Walden, Essex.
