Hi, My name's Hannah and I'm a fully qualified counsellor. I offer face to face sessions at my practice in central Canterbury. I'm trained to work with a wide range of life issues such as depression, trauma, abuse, anxiety, low self-esteem, estrangement, neurodivergent challenges, guilt and shame, cancer, relationship difficulties, PTSD and CPTSD, baby loss, narcissistic and dysfunctional families, gender identity and sexuality, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism (or a combination of these), menopause, perimenopause, feeling 'wrong' and 'stuck'.

I understand how being made to feel different can impact your childhood and teenage years and how it shapes your future self, and the effect this can have on your self-esteem and the value you place in yourself. I feel passionate about providing a compassionate neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ affirmative space where you can feel safe to express your thoughts, feelings and emotions.

My clients say that working with me has helped them to feel safe, heard, understood and accepted. More confident to face life challenges and form and maintain fulfilling relationships. My approach is to journey alongside you, helping you to explore your experiences and gain deeper awareness and understanding of who you are, allowing you to realise your inner strengths. I firmly believe that learning to trust, accept and value oneself for who we are, enables us to develop and change to be the best version of ourselves.

In addition to my private practice, I have worked as a therapist for an independent, not-for-profit community counselling service in Canterbury, where I worked with a diverse range of issues.

Perhaps you’ve been struggling over a long time, or something more recently is affecting you. Whatever the issue, you have the safe space to talk openly and honestly about your feelings and emotions. Each session is client-led as you journey together with me to discover empowering ways to reach your answers and drive forward for change.

My unique way of working combines real-world experience with up-to-date therapeutic techniques and perspectives to help you build a more fulfilled and enjoyable life. Whatever your issues, you can express yourself freely and talk through your emotions and experiences in a safe and confidential place without judgement. My compassionate and empathetic style draws on a range of therapy models so that you can better understand your struggles and empower yourself to solve your problems, as therapy provides a sense of self-direction and resilience to grow.

I work face-to-face from a light and spacious therapy practice in central Canterbury, Kent. Sessions can also be held online via Google Meet, Doxy.me.

How to get in touch

I understand how daunting it can be to begin with a new therapist, especially if you’re reaching out for the first time. I offer a free phone consultation to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have. It takes around 15 minutes, and after that I can determine your support. There is no pressure or obligation to undergo therapy – you’re free to decide how you prefer to proceed.

If you’re interested in engaging in therapy with me, please get in touch. I aim to get back to you within 48 hours or on Monday if you get in touch over the weekend. **I will always respond to your enquiry, so don't forget to check your spam folder. **

Our first session will give us the opportunity to meet one another and see how it feels to sit and talk in person. I will gather some background information, to start to have a picture of what has brought you here and what you hope to get gain from counselling. This gives us the opportunity to discuss any concerns you might have, previous experiences of therapy and what your expectations are.

By the end of our first meeting we will have an understanding of how we can work together and what that might look like. If you feel you would like to work together, we can form an agreement to continue.

Can I have online counselling?

Online counselling is an effective way to engage with a therapist and can be convenient if you cannot meet me in person at my Canterbury therapy practice. I use Google Meet or Doxy.me to conduct my therapy sessions, and after we agree on a time and a day, I send you an invite link to meet, and we begin the session.

What happens in a counselling session?

When you begin therapy with me, you control what we explore and discuss. My sessions take place in a safe and non-judgmental space, so you can talk freely and honestly about your experiences and current issues. I work on the principles of integrity, respect, and empathy – and will listen to you intently, helping you explore your emotions and deeply sense your feelings. Therapy aims to help you find the answers from within, so you can understand better and move forward with your life.
