About me
Does your past feel unresolved, or do you find yourself feeling stuck, unable to move forward? You don't have to navigate these feelings alone. I can walk alongside you through this, empowering and supporting you in a space where you can truly be yourself. Together, we’ll work on self-acceptance and uncover what’s holding you back. My goal is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel safe and understood as you take steps toward healing and growth.
I'm Hannah (she/her) a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Manchester. I came to train in therapy after years of struggling with my own shame and low self-esteem. Through my own personal therapy, I found newfound resilience and ways of coping that I hadn't imagined possible. Now, I am passionate about empowering individuals in their own journeys of self-exploration and acceptance, supporting them towards healing and achieving their full potential.
My Approach to Therapy
I am a person-centred therapist, believing that every individual is unique, and the expert in their own lives. I work in a non-directive way which means you'll take the lead, but this doesn't mean that I'll have a passive role. We'll work collaboratively, and our relationship will be one of the most important aspects of our work together. Alongside the person-centred approach, I can work with cognitive-behavioural techniques, which can be useful for clients who feel they would benefit from a more practical approach to tackling their issues. At the start of therapy, we will work together to agree on the best approach for 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.
