Dr Hannah King
Psychologist, PsychD, HCPC - Clin. Psych.
Online Only
I specialise in working with trauma responses and work holistically.
I believe that mental health difficulties are meaningful and understandable reactions to painful life events and situations, and so these are best treated with compassion, curiosity and respect. In this way, we may not only overcome problems, but gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our values, leading to a more balanced, fulfilling and enjoyable life. With a warm, caring approach to creating safe and reflective relationships, I can offer brief, focused therapy to build coping skills and overcome specific problems, or more in-depth work to build insight and release ingrained ways of being.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by trauma, recovering from sexual violence, struggling with stress or burnout, or simply trying to make sense of life's unexpected twists and turns.
People often tell me they're surprised by how quickly they feel comfortable enough to share things they've never spoken about before. I believe that when you feel genuinely heard, accepted and understood, meaningful change becomes possible.

I practice from my own room in NR6, Norwich, with parking available. I offer a safe, nurturing, non-judgemental counselling relationship. I work with clients to explore the issues that bring them to counselling, make them feel unhappy, unsatisfied or overwhelmed; exploring and working towards understanding these issues, and their responses to them. Our unhappiness may be triggered by any number of things beyond our control, but we can change how we think and the views we hold, through increased self-awareness. Couples work looks at exploring issues in a safe and emotionally containing environment to work towards mutual resolution.

Norwich NR2
Welcome! My guess is that getting started can be pretty scary to talk to someone you don't know about things that make you feel uncomfortable, sad, angry, overjoyed or embarrassed, but i would like to reassure you that this process is here to help you grow. There are certain elements necessary in therapy to maintain a space of positivity, growth and healing, but you are not responsible for maintaining those elements - that is the job of the therapist - my job. It is imperative that we maintain a judgement free space that is challenging but comforting and be open about your experience as it unfolds.

I have experience of working in businesses and for myself: I have a broad range of life experience as well as 20 years working with clients who are surviving personal trauma and loss.
I like to work with clients who are aware that they want to make changes in their lives: they may not yet know what the change looks like, but are willing to explore options in a compassionate and supportive environment. They are interested to learn more about themselves and others; willing to accept that they many need to let go of some old patterns of thinking, feeling and doing to live the life they want for themselves. They are committed to their personal growth and willing to meet regularly over Zoom or in person, to achieve their goals. Goals will be agreed each session to ensure focus and a sense of achievement for us both

You might be living with obsessive doubt, perfectionism, shame, burnout or the lasting effects of trauma.
I am a BABCP-accredited CBT psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and registered mental health nurse. My approach is formulation-led rather than one-size-fits-all, drawing on CBT, EMDR and inference-based CBT where appropriate. Together, we make sense of what is keeping the difficulty going and identify a focused, psychologically informed way forward.

I take a fundamentally trauma-informed approach, considering any challenges and issues that may arise in every aspect of human experience and self-image.
I'm an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor which means that I am trained in and draw from the three main schools of thought and tailor my approach to you; not applying any particular method but rather meeting you where you are, and going from there. As there is no one set way of being, I believe there is no one set way of working therapeutically with another, so our therapeutic relationship is important. I offer a free 20 minute consultation to look at what brings you to therapy, any queries you may have, and to see how we 'fit' and how you feel about the prospect of beginning sessions with me.
