Hanna Wikstrom

As a counsellor, I want to help people feel better - about themselves, their relationships, or their lives in general. I believe in counselling’s power to support people in working through their thoughts and feelings, and discovering a way forward.

I believe that every person has the resources to find their own answers, and by providing a safe, confidential space for you to talk, I hope to help you find those answers.

Whether you are new to counselling or have had therapy in the past, I hope to support you in exploring your feelings about things such as:

• ​Anxiety
  
• Low mood
  
• Depression
  
• Stress
  
• Self-esteem issues
  
• Confidence issues
  
• Loss or bereavement
  
• Relationship difficulties
  
• Life changes (e.g. a new job or relocation)
  

​This list is not exhaustive, and I will do my best to help you explore anything you wish to talk about in our sessions. I work mostly with adults, but also have experience with young adults/teenagers from 16 years and up. I currently don't work with children or teenagers under 16 years of age.

Please visit my website, www.hannawikstrom.com, to learn more about how I work, or get in touch via email (contact@hannawikstrom.com) or phone (07958652545) and I will do my best to answer any questions you might have.

I always suggest to prospective clients that a good place to start is to arrange a first session:

 - A first session is our chance to meet face to face, 

- for me to hear what you are going through, 

- for me to explain how I work and to give you a chance to ask any questions, 

- and, ultimately, for us both to decide if we feel we could work together. 

In a first session, we will go through my counselling contract that I use with clients, and I will ask you to explain what brings you to counselling and what you hope to get out of our work together.

A first session is never a commitment, but a chance to experience what counselling could be like. At the end of a first session, we can decide how/if we move forward.
