I am a qualified counsellor offering online therapy for adults across the UK, with a particular focus on anxiety, identity challenges, medical trauma and life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear to be coping outwardly but feel overwhelmed internally. I provide a calm, confidential and relational therapeutic space where you do not need to perform or hold everything together. My approach integrates traditional counselling with awareness of the mind-body connection. Anxiety, trauma and stress often show up physically as well as emotionally, and our work may gently explore both.

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a counsellor based in Thanet, and I work with people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, family issues, feeling disconnected, or a bit lost in themselves or their relationships. If you’re struggling to find your voice, feeling stuck, or carrying more than you let on, you’re in the right place. I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist, and I believe the relationship we build together is the most important part of the work. My style is gentle, calm, and honest. I’ll really listen, help you make sense of what’s going on underneath the surface, and support you to feel more confident in yourself and your needs.

We all face times in our lives when we feel lost, anxious, and overwhelmed. We may find it hard to get out of bed in the morning, or feel like no-one will understand what we are going through. Sometimes intense memories of a loss or a traumatic event in our past may be hindering us from moving forward, creating painful patterns in our day to day lives. Perhaps we just feel that something is 'off' and sense that we are not living our lives in the most fulfilling and meaningful way possible. I am a qualified Integrative counsellor trained to work with adults and young people, and want to help you find a way forward.

Early AM and Late PM Immediate Availability / Identity, Boundaries, Anxiety / Carer Support. I work with those feeling weighed down by the roles they play - the 'strong one', the Carer, or the burnt-out professional. My clients often feel a quiet, heavy resentment they’re afraid to admit aloud, maybe through a caring role changing their relationship, or when the mask of keeping it all together starts to crack, leading to stress, depression, anxiety, or a loss of self. You don't have to pretend you have it all under control. Together, we won't just manage your symptoms; we'll uncover the root causes & find a sustainable way forward.

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
