I work with adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns of overthinking that leave them exhausted and unsure how to move forward. Many of the people I support are navigating periods of change, whether that's becoming a parent, adjusting to shifts in relationships or work, or questioning who they are and what they need.
I offer a calm, supportive, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, make sense of your experiences, and begin to find a way forward at a pace that feels right for you.

Is something no longer working for you and you don’t know how to talk about it let alone how to work through it?
It is part of being human to experience struggle, but that’s not necessarily something we’re comfortable with.

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.

Overwhelmed, shutdown & anxiety, past/ present trauma or neurodivergence.
You might feel overwhelmed, shut down, or constantly on edge, and talking about it hasn’t really helped.

Choosing to reach out for support can feel daunting, and I understand the courage it takes to take that first step.

I believe everyone deserves to be met with kindness, compassion, and curiosity. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to support you in developing a deeper understanding of yourself and finding your own way forward.

Are you feeling stuck in constant doubt, fear or intrusive thoughts that just won’t let go? I work with individuals experiencing OCD and OCD-related difficulties, including contamination, responsibility, relationship, health, symmetry, scrupulosity, sexual orientation, paedophilia-related OCD, intrusive thoughts and 'Pure O' presentations. Many of the people I support feel OCD has taken over their life. They can feel frightened, ashamed or exhausted by compulsions that have taken over their confidence, relationships and ability to be present and enjoy everyday life. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone and change is possible.

See More Female Counsellors FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
