I’m Hannah, a Clinical Psychologist and EMDR therapist dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. Alongside my private practice, I also have experience working in the NHS with adults with a variety of mental health difficulties. 

 

How I work

I bring a compassionate, goal focused and down-to-earth approach to therapy. At the heart of my work is a genuine collaborative relationship. Feeling truly safe, heard and understood is really important and usually the first part of the work.  I encourage people to bring their strengths, values, and experiences, and we use them as a foundation. I aim to help people to develop a clearer understanding of their difficulties, using psychological theories and models. I believe that lasting change comes from both insight and action, so together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck and work towards the shift you’re looking for.

 

I believe therapy should be more than just talking, and so often I integrate creative and dynamic methods like imagery, chair work, and experiential exercises to support powerful change. No two people are the same, and neither should therapy be! This means I can tailor therapy to fit you—your experiences, your strengths, and your values. I have training in and can draw from a range of evidence-based therapies: 

​

•  Eye Movement De-sensitisation and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) - a leading therapy for processing trauma and difficult experiences, and my main therapeutic modality. 

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Who I Work With

I work exclusively with adults and have a particular passion for supporting those recovering from difficult life experiences, trauma, anxiety, and emotional struggles. I can offer evidence-based therapy for a variety of difficulties, including generalised anxiety/worry, social anxiety, self-esteem/self-criticism difficulties, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and phobias.  

 

As I am a sole practitioner without direct links to intensive support/crisis teams, currently, I am unable to safely support people who are struggling to keep themselves safe.
