About Hannah

My Background

Finding the right support

Finding a therapist can be challenging, and it’s hard to know where to start. However, knowing more about a therapist can help you make that decision and determine who is best for you. I am passionate about providing effective, evidence-based therapies and assessments. In particular, I am trained in several therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have over 20 years experience working with people who are struggling with their wellbeing and I offer an individualised approach to assessment and therapy.

I am very experienced in helping my people to overcome their struggles and distress, and live lives which feel much more satisfying, meaningful, and authentic. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge to help others.

My approach

My approach is one of non-judgement and warmth. I am passionate about normalising the experience of emotional difficulties and I believe that as humans, none of us are immune from struggling with our wellbeing. Accessing help can feel scary, it’s a big first step. I try hard to put my clients at ease right from the start of the process. I have a wealth of experience helping clients make some positive changes in their life, and I would love to help you to do this as well.

My Qualifications

In addition to my doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I hold a PhD in Psychology and have published several articles in leading Psychology and Psychiatry journals. This extensive academic and Clinical background has equipped me with a deep understanding of various psychological theories and practices.

In 2023 I became a trustee for the men’s mental health charity Mentell. It’s an honour to be able to support the charity as it grows and play a role in it’s development.

ADHD Assessments 

I conduct comprehensive ADHD assessments (click here for more information) for individuals seeking clarity about their experiences. These assessments are designed to help identify ADHD symptoms and provide a deeper understanding of how they may impact daily life. Following the assessment, I work collaboratively with clients to develop tailored strategies to support them and their well-being.

Workplace Well-Being Strategies

Recognizing the importance of mental health in the workplace, I offer strategies aimed at enhancing workplace well-being. For example, I collaborate with organisations to create supportive environments that prioritize mental health. This includes training sessions, workshops, and individual coaching aimed at fostering resilience, improving communication, and promoting overall employee well-being.

Clinical Supervision

In addition to my therapeutic work, I provide clinical supervision for professionals in the mental health field. My supervision focuses on fostering professional growth, enhancing clinical skills, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality care to clients. I offer a supportive and reflective space for supervisees to discuss their cases, explore ethical dilemmas, and develop their therapeutic approaches.

Coaching

You don’t have to be experiencing “mental health difficulties” to access therapy. I also work with people who may not necessarily be experiencing mental health difficulties, rather they are feeling “stuck” in life and want to be able to move forward. My 1:1 and group coaching allow me to help clients clarify their values, goals and what matters to them. We look at how they can make changes to be able to forward in a direction that feels meaningful, and to achieve their goals.

My approach is tailored to each person I work with. Subsequently, we will develop a shared understanding of your difficulties and help you to make sense of them. We will then work towards providing you with the tools to make positive practical and emotional changes.
