About me
Hi, I’m Hannah, a qualified and registered therapist (MBACP). I believe that the connection between the therapist and you is what makes therapy work. When you feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable, honest, and just a little curious about yourself, that’s when real change can happen. I will take the time to really understand you—what it's like to be you, and how your world works. That’s when we can start exploring things like why you feel or act the way you do, and how to create some space to figure out how to make changes that’ll help you feel better.
My experience
I’ve worked with all sorts of people, but I’m especially passionate about helping those who are recovering from tough or traumatic life experiences. It’s not easy to move on from difficult times, and it can often feel like you're stuck. I know that therapy can feel daunting, but we’ll do it in a compassionate way that feels right for you. And it’s not just about talking through what may have already happened - it’s also about figuring out how to break old patterns, taking control of your thoughts and actions, and starting to do things differently so you can feel more in control and at peace. I believe that this trauma-informed approach also works well for things like anxiety, depression and low self-esteem too.
A little about me
My practice is based in Histon & Impington, just outside Cambridge. I work with adults and young people, and am happy to meet online or in person. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the charity sector focusing on health communication and behaviour change. In addition to my private practice, I’m lucky enough to work with the amazing Cambridge Acorn Project, where I support children and young people who’ve been through abuse or neglect.
If you think we might be a good fit, get in touch and we can arrange a free initial 20 minute chat.

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.
