About me
Hannah Green | BACP-Registered Integrative Counsellor
North West England
You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck, or finding it difficult to make sense of things at the moment. Maybe you're feeling low, struggling with relationships, or finding that the same thoughts and patterns keep coming up, even when you're trying hard to do things differently.
Perhaps you're going through a difficult time, dealing with loss, or trying to understand why things feel the way they do. Or maybe you can't quite explain it — you just know you're not feeling like yourself.
Whatever you're experiencing, you don't have to figure it all out on your own.
I'm Hannah, a BACP-registered Integrative Counsellor, working with young people aged 11+ and adults. I offer a space where you can talk openly, feel heard and begin to understand things at your own pace. You don't need to know where to start or have the right words. We can start wherever you are.
How I work
I believe that feeling heard, understood and accepted can make a real difference when life feels difficult. Opening up isn't always easy, especially if you're used to keeping things to yourself or putting other people's needs first.
My approach is person-centred, which means that you are the expert on your own experience. I'll meet you where you are, without judgement or pressure to be a certain way. There's no expectation that you need to have everything figured out, and we can take things at a pace that feels right for you.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches to suit you as an individual. Together, we can explore what's happening for you now and, where it feels helpful, look at how past experiences might be influencing the way you feel, think and relate to yourself and others today.
Sometimes, we develop ways of coping that help us through difficult times, but over time these can leave us feeling stuck or disconnected from what we really need. You might find yourself overthinking, pushing feelings aside, putting yourself last or repeating patterns you'd like to understand.
We can gently untangle these patterns together, exploring where they might come from and whether they're still helping you. My aim isn't to tell you what to do or change who you are, but to help you understand yourself with greater compassion, build trust in your own feelings and decisions, and feel more able to make choices that feel right for you.
A space to be yourself
You don't have to wait until things feel unbearable before reaching out for support. You might come to counselling with something specific you want to work through, or simply a feeling that something needs to change.
I'll work alongside you with care, consistency and respect, making space for whatever feels important to you. There's no set path we have to follow, and no pressure to have all the answers.
I believe we all have the capacity for growth and change, but sometimes we need a little support to understand ourselves and find our way forward. My hope is that counselling can help you feel less alone with what you're experiencing, become kinder towards yourself, and feel more confident in taking your next steps in a way that feels authentic to you.
I offer short-term, long-term and open-ended counselling, depending on your needs and what feels right for you.

If something here resonates with you, please feel free to get in touch. You don't need to know exactly what to say or have a clear idea of what you want from counselling. We can start with a conversation and take it from there.
I'd be honoured to support you.

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.

Client feedback-
‘I've been seeing Hannah for about a year now, and I can honestly say I have had a truly positive experience. She's very kind, calm and a great listener. I feel heard and understood during our sessions - I definitely think I have gained a better understanding of my feelings and navigating them during our time together.I always feel much lighter after our sessions, and Hannah's supportive approach makes it really easy to open up.I appreciate the flexibility in booking in our sessions and for personal therapy I think Hannah's price point is very accessible.I'd highly recommend Hannah to anyone thinking about starting therapy.’
‘I have had counselling sessions with Hannah on two occasions now, with the first in 2024 and the second this year (2025).In both instances, Hannah has been excellent, and we've built a really nice rapport that's made it easy for me to open up and talk about how I'm feeling.This enables me to get to the root of my concerns before we discuss what I can put in place to help me address and overcome these obstacles.Hannah challenges me to understand how I feel while remaining consistently positive and supportive. The sessions have been a massive help to me, and I will definitely contact Hannah again should I need to. Thanks for all of your help, Hannah!’
“I love talking to Hannah! We have a great rapport, and I feel like she always meets me where I'm comfortable. I didn't have much of an experience with therapy, and she really helped me ease into the process.”
“Hannah is a blessing! Since three months in therapy with her, I have observed improvement in the clarity of my perspectives. Thoughtful and a good listener, she is very effective at pointing out the positives and challenging my negative thoughts, going down to the root cause of problems and showing a different perspective to view things from, which is more practical and robust. Furthermore, I also get feedback about my personality and behaviour, all in a safe and comfortable space”
“Hannah is extremely supportive, and creates an open safe space. She’s always very respectful and is great at shining a light on a different perspective / way of thinking, while helping me understand my own needs - in turn building confidence and self navigation. Thanks Hannah for your help.”
