About us
Find out what matters to us
why we do this
We believe…
That each individual person is unique, has a purpose and is worth being supported to connect or to reconnect with the best version of themselves.
That no one is beyond hope and that no situation is unredeemable.
It’s more helpful and kind to ask ‘What happened to you?’ rather than ‘Why do you do that?
That professional, timely, affordable support should be available to all regardless of their socio-economic status or life-controlling behaviours
Our vision
To provide timely, affordable holistic support with mental health and wellbeing.
To equip and support communities and organisations to develop healthy patterns of living for themselves and to support those they work and partner with.
To change the stigma around mental health issues both in the community and in the workplace.
Our values
Our Christian faith underpins everything we do and our values reflect this. We welcome everyone regardless of their faith, gender, sexual orientation or race, seeing intrinsic value and boundless potential in everyone.
Vulnerability
We model vulnerability by owning our mistakes, ask for help when we need it, have the courage to have the difficult conversations.
Kindness
We encourage stopping and resting; clarify and respect boundaries and choose to see the best in others.
Integrity
We are who we say we are and do what we say we’ll do; communicate clearly; partner with anyone who holds our values.
Commitment
We don’t give up easily and give our best; we take responsibility if we cannot manage.
Compassion
We walk with empathy; practise patience and grace; honour individual needs; ask ‘how can I serve you?’ and never give up hope.
Client feedback
“I have absolute confidence in Shona Stirling’s wisdom, integrity and leadership. She is a woman who is gifted in many ways; she is attentive and insightful to the needs of the individual, yet has the ability to share her knowledge, experience and wisdom with a room full of people, in a simple, engaging and impacting way. With that formidable combination of gifts and attributes, it’s no surprise that Healing for the Heart is growing and developing at an exponential rate!”
“Often people get stuck in life, held back by fear or past hurts or confusion about how to move forward. Healing for the Heart helps to ‘unstick’ people so that they can live life in all its fullness. They help people overcome fear, move beyond hurts and create clarity about how to live.”
