calm . compassionate . empowering
Hello, I’m Hannah (she/her) — it’s such a brave step coming for counselling, I offer you a safe, supportive space to explore, heal and grow.
My approach
My counselling style is rooted in the person-centred tradition, which means I trust in your inner capacity to grow and make sense of things when given the right conditions. At the same time, I draw on other approaches when they feel helpful, including creative tools, grounding techniques, and elements from trauma-informed and body-aware practices.
The heart of my approach is creating a space where your voice matters, your story is honoured, and you’re free to explore things at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore what has happened to you rather than what is 'wrong' with you, to move forward with greater freedom, joy, connection, and empowered choice. I believe the quality of our relationships, both past and present, along with the cultural, societal, and family stories we grow up with, can stay with us deeply. They shape how we see ourselves, our self-worth, how we relate to others, and how we navigate emotions and the world around us.
Every person is different, and so therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our work is collaborative and grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection. I bring gentle attention to the dynamics.
