Hannah Stein BSc, PGDip, MBACP
About me
I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with experience of working with adults, young people and children in a number of different settings. . I offer a supportive, non-judgmental and warm space to explore whatever issues or concerns you choose to bring to our sessions. I offer sessions from a comfortable and confidential setting both face to face and via video and telephone calls.
As well as working with adults in private practice I have also worked for a local charity, the NHS and I’m an Anxiety UK approved therapist. I also run a wellbeing/ counselling service in a school supporting the pastoral care and safeguarding team.
I'm passionate about working with children and adolescents and I’ve worked as a school counsellor for a number of years. I've spent time in both primary and secondary schools across Greater Manchester and Cheshire supporting young people with concerns such as anxiety, low mood and depression, self harm, low self esteem, exam stress and many more. As well as supporting young people in school settings I also have experience of working with families, teachers and school staff. I work with young people from aged 13.
Alongside talking therapies, having the ability to offer play and creative based therapy enables younger clients to explore their feelings in a safe and more relaxed environment.
I understand that taking those initial steps to access counselling can be daunting, however I hope we can build a comfortable rapport by establishing a genuine and non judgmental relationship. I believe everybody deserves the chance to be heard and supported through their unique and individual journey.
Any queries please don't hesitate to contact me.
