About me
Perhaps you're struggling with something specific, or perhaps you simply know that things don't feel right and you're not sure why.
You might be experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress or burnout, dealing with grief or a difficult life change, struggling in a relationship, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You may be questioning your identity, confidence or boundaries, trying to understand difficult experiences, or simply feeling stuck. Once you start opening up, we can figure it out together, and improve how you feel towards yourself.
Sessions with me balance in-depth, deep conversation with more light-hearted bonding so that you're never overwhelmed. I know that it takes time to build the trust needed to know you won't feel judged here, and that sharing private thoughts can feel really scary. I'm here for you, at your pace, with warm support.
My clients have expressed to me that they have started to feel more purposeful, lighter, more joyful, more authentic, less anxious... If you'd like to feel this way, let's start a conversation that goes at your pace and focuses on you for once.
Training, qualifications & experience
CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
'Integrative Counselling' is simply counselling which can be adapted to suit you as an individual rather than a one size fits all approach.
I don't expect every client to fit the same therapeutic model or approach. My foundation is person-centred, so our work starts with you, your experiences and what feels relevant to explore. I can also draw on transactional analysis, psychodynamic and other approaches where they may be useful.
I've worked with a variety of themes, both online and in person, such as anxiety, panic attacks, grief and loss, stress and burnout, workplace issues, family dynamics, childhood trauma, LGBTQ+ experiences, body image, OCD, neurodivergent experiences, and more...
I currently offer online counselling to adults anywhere in the UK, Mon- Sat. I offer limited in-person sessions in Bromsgrove on Sundays.

I am an advocate for living as your most authentic self, as much of the time as possible, in order to feel fulfilled and purposeful in your life. This may look totally different to lives other people lead, and that is okay. Learning not to compare yourself and your journey with others is important, and I'm here to support you with that. So if you have an inner world that you haven't been able to share with anyone yet, now is the time- you will find only positivity and empathy here.
I welcome questions, especially if you are the sort of person that likes to know exactly what to expect, so please get in touch and I'll take you step by step through the process of starting counselling. There is also more information on my website: hannahpurdiecounselling.co.uk
