About me
Hello, my name is Hannah.
Sometimes life gets messy and overwhelming. Stress, work, relationship issues, grief, loss, health issues, anxiety, feeling low are things we can all experience at times. Sometimes those around us don’t offer us the support we need, or we worry we would burden them or be judged by them if we opened up about our problems. Counselling can be a way of helping us through life’s twists and turns.
I provide a safe, confidential, empathetic, non-judgemental space in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings, allowing you to understand more about yourself and your relationships with others. I offer a space where clients feel heard, supported and fully accepted as they are.
I work with adults, young people and children.
As an Accredited Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches and methods into my work and combine them to suit the needs of each individual client. These include Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I became a counsellor because I enjoy helping and supporting people. I see every client as a person of worth and work collaboratively with you, providing an understanding and supportive environment to enable you to explore your world and the challenges you have been facing and find a way forward. It is very important to me that every client feels heard, valued, validated and respected.
The therapeutic relationship between myself and my client is central to my work. My goal is for every client I work with to get the most out of every session and I ensure that the developing relationship, a focus on the individual client and the utilisation of my therapeutic skills leads towards this.
I offer in-person, online and telephone sessions. I have a background in the care sector and in education and have worked in a variety of settings with a range of people of all ages.
If you are a parent/carer seeking counselling for your child, this is best conducted in-person, although online counselling is possible for young people - this would be discussed on an individual basis and I work with you to find an arrangement that works best for you and your family member.
Please call/email me to discuss this.
I offer a 15-minute free consultation phone call at point of initial enquiry, before any commitment to sessions. This could be online if you prefer.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
