Hello and welcome. There are many difficulties we can face which make life feel harder to manage. At different times we all experience challenges with managing our mental and emotional wellbeing - perhaps in relation to significant life events, work, transitions, accidents or illnesses. Often we draw on our usual ways of coping to get us through, but sometimes it can be helpful to make sense of our experiences with someone who can offer a non-judgmental, compassionate space which is entirely yours.

You may have realised, or even had it pointed out to you, that you are meaningfully conflicted in certain areas of life. As a consequence, you are behaving in ways that are inauthentic, unhelpful, or even harmful, to yourself and others. You’re having trouble figuring out yourself and your issues, and this is impacting your mood and confidence, relationships and responsibilities, behaviours and beliefs. Something has to change, and you’re likely here because you no longer want to avoid your struggles; you want face and overcome them. I can help you explore your issues, reach new understandings and work on achievable ways forward.

My clients are people who are quietly struggling. They show up well in the world — at work, in relationships, in the roles they play — but something underneath isn't right. Stress and anxiety are often present, though they rarely arrive with those labels. More often they show up as overthinking, difficulty switching off, a sense of never quite feeling settled, self-destructive patterns, or a nagging feeling that life should feel different to this.
I also work with couples who have reached a point where the same arguments keep happening and something needs to change.

Hi, thank you for visiting my profile page. I know it can be a big decision to make time in life to have therapy, but the first step in doing that is finding the right therapist for you. There is no problem too small to take to therapy, you might even just have a feeling that things just aren't right at the moment. So much of the experience of psychotherapy is having the time and space to explore and figure out what is going on both in your external and internal world. By doing this, over time things start to make a bit more sense. It would be my great privilege, as your therapist to support through this time of exploration.

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor (offering low cost supervision) working in Bristol and online.
As a therapist, working in an embodied way is central to my practice. Bringing awareness into the body can create a sense of grounded safety in therapy and can help clients to deepen into what they are exploring. I also draw on psychological theories on how we have been shaped by experience in childhood.

I'm Hannah and I am an integrative therapist specialising in using eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to treat a wide range of psychological issues. I am highly trained in psychotherapy, neuroscience and trauma and believe that our current issues can often be traced back to early adverse experiences in childhood. Compared to standard talking therapy EMDR generally takes a shorter amount of time to get to the root cause of the issue. Rather than just dealing with symptom management (like CBT), EMDR therapy works directly with the cause of your distress.
