I also have experience with domestic violence, adolescence and young person issues, trauma, personality disorders, OCD, and other challenges.
I work best with clients who are ready to explore change and develop self-reflection and compassion. Some people arrive with big questions about life, identity, and direction. Others may not know exactly what they want, but sense something isn’t quite right — and that’s okay. Clients often choose to work with me because of my experience and the supportive, practical way I help them move forward. With over a decade of experience, I can help you clarify your goals and make meaningful progress in a way that feels manageable and authentic.

Life can be a rough ride. Keeping the balance and moving forward can be a challenge. It can involve stress, anxiety, depression and much more. But I believe through psychological therapies we can learn and, in some cases even master, the art of managing life successfully. To achieve this, I practise an integrative approach that draws strength from various therapies in the field. I am a qualified Psychotherapist at a Doctoral level and I feel confident to deal with complexity . My natural inclination is to help people in need. My recent training and qualifications do enhance my inclination especially to those psychologically unwell.

Do you feel stuck in patterns of relating to yourself and others that feel familiar, yet are holding you back? My approach to therapy is grounded in an understanding that current difficulties are often influenced by past experiences, relationships, and patterns that may sit outside of our awareness. I place great importance on the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for meaningful change - I believe that change can happen when you feel genuinely heard and understood. My work is individually tailored, and I draw flexibly on a range of evidence-based approaches to facilitate meaning making and promote change.

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.

Hi, my name is Natasha, and I’m an Intuitive Counsellor. Intuitive counselling is a gentle yet profound process of understanding the difference between the conditioned mind and our intuitive self. The more we practice presence, the more we strengthen our ability to listen within. When we begin to observe how the mind becomes cluttered with thoughts from the past or worries about the future, we create space to return to the present moment — where clarity and truth naturally arise. From this awareness, we can start to recognise and release the beliefs and behaviours that no longer serve us.

My therapy practice centres around a belief in the transformative potential of experiencing connection and understanding with self and other. I believe one of the ways this can be achieved is through building an authentic professional therapeutic relationship based on qualities such as trust, acceptance and understanding. I prioritise the importance of working collaboratively at your pace and by your direction. My practice is informed by my person-centred and experiential training, and by my interest in working with the body, neuroscience, and through creative expression.

Stuck in cycles of intrusive/scary taboo OCD thoughts/images and mental compulsions that feel too important to ignore? You’re constantly seeking certainty, reassurance, replaying conversations, rechecking decisions. Maybe you’re too scared to be alone with your thoughts. You’re convinced these thoughts/images mean something awful about who you are. The mental exhaustion is overwhelming - you’re living in your head. What if you don’t need to figure it all out or find the “right” answer? You need to learn that thoughts/images and anxiety can’t actually harm you and discover practical tools to break free from OCD’s grip.
