About me
Working as an experienced counsellor; I provide a confidential counselling service and professional support for children, teenagers and adults experiencing problems including anxiety, depression, loneliness, bereavement, managing ADHD, self-esteem and relationship problems.
This is presented in a warm and caring, “down to earth” approach in order to make you, the client feel comfortable and safe in the therapeutic process. Working together, counselling can help you reflect on whatever may be troubling you and enable you to feel unburdened and able to move forward in your life.
My rooms are based in Kingston Bagpuize and are within easy reach of Oxford, Witney, Abingdon and Kidlington.
It is important to me that I am with my clients by their side while they work with me in their journey of self-exploration, which can result in a renewed sense of self-belief and growth. If you feel like you would like to start your journey into counselling, please either use the contact form on this website, call or send a message to 07585 458 451, or email: hannah@comfortingminds.com
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and Accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I have completed a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, as well as advanced ADHD practitioner, and advanced safeguarding and bereavement training.
I work in an integrative approach, whereby I will tailor the therapeutic methods to the individual needs of the person from cognitive behavioural techniques to a person centred approach. Sometimes I may use different tools to help with your self-exploration, this can include creative therapy (stone work, imagery etc) or after session tasks. As an integrative counsellor, I will tailor the therapeutic methods to your individual needs.
In addition to this, I am a trained Drawing and Talking practitioner. This is an experiential form of therapy that has benefits for children, young people and adults who have suffered trauma or have underlying emotional difficulties - you don't need to be an artist to benefit from this form of therapy!
I work within the guidelines of the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice and abide by their procedures for professional conduct.
I have provided counselling within a school, youth agencies and private counselling for a number of years. My experience has allowed me to work with a range of age groups from children, young people and adults. I also have experience working with neurodivergent individuals including ASD and ADHD.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
