About me
Seeking therapy is a courageous and vulnerable act. I’m glad you found your way here.
Whether you’re dealing with a major life change, a traumatic event or emotions that feel overwhelming, I’m here to support you. If you’re feeling lost, stuck, or just need someone to talk to, you deserve a safe and understanding space to explore your feelings.
In our sessions, my goal is to help you feel held, heard, and affirmed. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to create a plan tailored specifically to you. If you’re new to therapy, don’t worry—we’ll work together to find the best approach for your needs.
I have experience working with neurodivergent individuals and am committed to making adjustments to ensure our sessions meet your unique needs. Inclusivity and understanding are at the heart of my practice and I am dedicated to supporting individuals from all backgrounds, including those in the LGBTQ+ community.
Think I might be a good fit? Feel free to reach out—I’m happy to answer any questions and discuss how we can work together.
I look forward to the opportunity to support you.
Warmly,
Hannah

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.
