About me
Are you feeling down, trapped or overwhelmed? Finding it hard to trust and believe in yourself? Wondering if your relationships are healthy? Your agenda guides our sessions, allowing you to address the issues that matter most to you. As a person-centred counsellor, I practice a hopeful and empowering approach where the client takes the lead in the counselling journey. We will genuinely connect and you will be the expert. My job is to understand you, to follow you into your world with empathy and postive regard for your experience. With my support you can find your options for change. Reach out to discover how to embrace what you want in life.
While my specialisation is counselling women, I warmly welcome people of all gender identities who feel I may be the right counsellor for them.
You might ask yourself how you would know if I am the right therapist for you. An initial telephone conversation gives you the opportunity to experience my way of working and if you think you will be comfortable with me. For me it is an opportunity to assess if I feel well placed to work with the issues you are bringing. After we started our work together, we will have regular reviews of our therapy relationship in which you can explore if you are getting what you need from our sessions. The first review will be in our sixth sessio
Let me support your process of self-discovery that empowers you to make conscious choices and enact meaningful changes in your life. Email me at hannabohrisch@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to schedule an initial conversation.
I work face to face in Ealing and also offer Walk and Talk therapy. On top of being a Counsellor, I am a certified Forest Therapy Practioner. You can also work with me online from anywhere in the UK and Europe.
Training, qualifications & experience
I became therapist because of my own experience of having therapy. Being listened to without judgement, being believed and accepted, was transformative. I learned to ask for help, that with understanding and self-compassion I not only changed myself but my surroundings and relationships as well.
I decided that I wanted to support other people as best as I can and started volunteering for the Samaritans. My passion for creating safe spaces where people feel heard, valued and connected was sparked. Studying to become a counsellor was the next step and I am very happy that I took it.
I am working with clients since 2017 and have experience in working with women from all walks of life. From 2018 to 2021 I worked with an organisation that specialises in counselling domestic abuse survivors.
I regularly engage in professional development activities to stay informed, enhance my skills and ensure that I provide the most effective and compassionate work.
My qualifications are:
- BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling. (Middlesex University, London)
- Forest Therapy Practitioner Certificate (Light Box Project CIC)
- Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling – Metanoia Institute London, accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
- Certificate in Systemic Coaching – BR-Systemberatung – by the quality standards of the European Coaching Association (ECA).
Member organisations

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
I offer Walk and Talk therapy in Ealing. London’s 3000 parks can support you to boost your mental health. Instead of sitting in a room, we will be walking alongside. You will determine the pace, decide if you would like to sit down for a while or engage with your surroundings. Nature is open-minded and helps you to connect to your emotions and experiences. Walk and talk therapy combines therapy and exercise with the benefit of being in nature. The NHS recommends walking for your physical health. In addition, scientific research has shown that walking is beneficial for your mental health.
