My name is Hannah and I know personally how difficult and nerve-racking it can be to start or restart a therapeutic journey.

My own mental health issues started when I was a teenager. I didn’t like myself, I was very anxious and just didn’t feel like I belonged anywhere. I had counselling then which in all honesty papered over my issues but allowed me to function.

Through my twenties, I just felt lost, my anxiety constantly there, I had (and still have) a great support system but I didn’t have my own self-worth and love. Something had to change for me, I couldn’t live in this state anymore. The first step was a career change, I trained alongside my full-time job to be a counsellor. I’d always wanted to help people and I felt like the right fit for with my ethics and beliefs in people. Through this training I found my counsellor who created a space for me to be vulnerable and honest about my relationship with myself. I gained hope, self-compassion and a kindness I’d never felt before and I hope that I can bring that to my clients.

In my practice, I embrace a person-centred approach, recognising that each individual is unique and their experiences are valid. Together, as client and counsellor, we embark on a collaborative journey to facilitate change, with a foundation built on non-judgment and empathy.

In our sessions, we explore the aspects of your life that align with your true self, helping you discover and hold onto what is most meaningful to you. It's all about being person-focused, creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression or want to change something in your life, I am here to support you and work through it with you.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy and work within their professional guidelines therefore providing you with a safe and ethical service.
