About me
As You Are Therapy
Finding someone to listen, to sit with, and to be understood by is a step that requires immense amounts of courage. This may be your first time here, it may be a path you’re returning to. It might be a step you’re taking because you finally feel you can. Perhaps you feel under pressure to change, or you simply cannot go on as you have been for so long. In any case, welcome. And take a moment to commend the courage you’ve shown so far. If you’re able to.
I’m Hannah.
I am a Psychodynamic Therapist based in the UK.
I have an office in Leicester centre and Shepshed town, and I work in person, with a view to long-term therapy, in weekly sessions of 50 minutes.
So, what is Psychodynamic therapy? And why might this style of therapy resonate with you?
Psychodynamic Therapy is a form of talking therapy that explores the unconscious mind and its hidden feelings, memories, defences and impulses.
The therapeutic relationship in Psychodynamic Therapy (i.e., the therapist and you) acts as a mirror to reveal how you relate to yourself and others. We curiously explore this, and we ask: does how you relate to yourself and others benefit you or keep you bound to unconscious play-outs of painful parts of your past? Together, without judgement and with compassion, we challenge this.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores the body’s nervous system, its response to feeling, the neural pathways, and our relational landscape of the past and present that forms how we experience what we experience.
In exploring the mind and body through relationship, Psychodynamic Therapy helps us to understand who you are, how you came to be, and by doing so helps you decide how you choose to continue being. If who you are has become hidden under layers of life, then let’s discover and uncover this together. After all, the relationship you have with yourself is the most important relationship you will ever have.
What might you expect from me as your therapist?
I am found to be warm, determined, deeply empathetic, and challenging. I have extensive experience of working professionally as a Psychodynamic therapist. I have a Diploma in Psychodynamic Therapy and am a registered member of the BACP. (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.)
I regularly engage with ongoing therapeutic training and Counsellor supervision to ensure a safe practice for my clients that remains current, robust and ethical. I am a Neurodiversity Champion who promotes neuro-inclusivity and supports safe therapeutic practice through this lens. I am trauma-informed, which enables compassionate and safe holding of difficult and traumatic events, be they in the past or present.
Take some time to consider what you are seeking, what you hope to find, what your aims are for the you that you are now, and the you that you long to be or to be free from. Be curious about why my profile has spoken to you, and, if it feels right, contact me, and we will take the next step together with an introductory session. I have set pricing for sessions and a limited availability for concessions.
With warmth, 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.
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.
