Hanna Wikstrom

At the beginning of June, I will be going on maternity leave. This means I am not currently taking on new clients, and have closed my waiting list for the time being.

Please check my website (www.hannawikstrom.com) for updates on my return to work next year. In the meantime, I wish you the best of luck in finding a counsellor to work with.

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 (07946110377) 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 for the first time,

- 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.
