About me
Hi, I’m Hannah, a fully qualified counsellor and UKCP advanced psychotherapy trainee. I help people understand how they have come to be who they are and help them relate to themselves and others in more satisfying, meaningful and enriching ways
You might come to work with me if you are experiencing difficulties with your identity, self and relationships; chronic anxiety, inner conflict, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem or have experienced trauma, abuse or neglect in your adult or childhood relationships. We will work together to identify and untie the 'knots' that are keeping you stuck, integrating the different aspects of your life into a secure and coherent self.
Rather than prescribing a specific number of sessions and strategies to ‘treat’ a specific ‘issue’, we will work together on an open-ended basis, to develop a joint understanding of how you have come to be who you are today. Through the course of our lives, we create patterns of relating, thinking and behaving that help us to best navigate our world. Sometimes, these ways of surviving can also limit us. Although such methods will have once been necessary, they reflect our past, rather than the full scope of who we are in the present day. This means they often prevent us from living rich, fulfilling lives with meaningful relationships. I work in a way which helps us identify these patterns, bringing them into conscious awareness where we can investigate how they might be underlying your current symptoms and keeping you stuck. From this new place of self-knowledge, you are well-equipped and supported to update how you interact with yourself, others and the world, with your full capacity.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I work with people, rather than diagnostic labels. The above are areas I work most frequently with or have significant experience of working with, but do not represent the full scope of my experience; nor do they manifest the same in each person who experiences them.
If the reason you are considering psychotherapy is not listed above, I will still welcome your contacting me should you wish to.

Fees
£65.00 per session
Additional information
Counselling at WellSpace is £65 per 60 minute session.
At first contact, I offer a free 15 minute phone call to briefly discuss your needs and availability. This is followed by an in-person initial needs assessment, which is a full 60 minute session and so charged at £65. If, during this session, I believe you would be better supported by a different type of practitioner; or you decide not to continue into therapy with me, we can discuss this and I can refer you on appropriately.

Further information
WellSpace Counselling is based in Alresford; a small town approximately 15 minutes drive from Winchester.
I work from a designated talking therapy room in The Station Mill., Alresford (just outside Winchester City). This is a health and fitness centre next to The Watercress Line train station and opposite Alresford GP Surgery. My room is on the second floor, via four flights of stairs and therefore I regret that it is not suitable for disabled access
There is a some free parking at The Station Mill and for up to 1 hour on the surrounding roads. Additionally, there is a large car park priced at £1 per hour, opposite The Station Mill.
