Davina Hanlon

I'm welcoming new clients.

In-Person Sessions: Wednesday to Friday, 10am–5pm (Fridays until 6pm).

Online Sessions: Flexible availability.

My appointment schedule varies week to week, so please reach out to discuss options.

When life feels overwhelming or heavy, having a quiet, confidential space to talk can make all the difference. 

At my private studio room tucked away upstairs at Cedar Farm in Mawdesley (or online), you’ll find a space where you can take a breath, talk freely and start feeling like yourself again. I’ll help you untangle what’s going on so you can feel calmer and more in control.  

I work with individuals (18+) offering person centred talking therapy – that means you won’t be judged – just heard, understood and supported. If sitting in a room ever feels a bit intense, we can go outdoors or we can use creativity if you find that words are hard to find (no artistic skills needed). It’s entirely your choice – whatever feels helpful to you.

How I Work

My practice is rooted in the Person-Centred approach, a well-established therapy pioneered by psychologist Carl Rogers. I believe that when you’re offered true empathy, genuine warmth, and a completely judgement-free space, you have the room you need to feel heard, heal, and move forward. My role as your therapist is to provide the safe physical and emotional space where that growth can naturally happen.

Your Therapy Choices (Flexible)

Talking Therapy : A comfortable and private space tucked away at Cedar Farm to explore your thoughts and feelings, either in-person or online / phone.

Optional Creative Approaches: Blend talking therapy with gentle, creative exploration (using colour, sound, movement, imagery, or materials) when words feel hard to find - you don't need any artistic skill or talent at all.

Walk & Talk Therapy: Outdoor therapy sessions at locations around West Lancashire allowing movement to help process emotions (You’re very welcome to bring along your well-behaved dog).

Single Sessions & Short-Term Therapy: Focused, targeted sessions for specific transitions or immediate clarity.

Long-Term / Open-Ended Therapy: Deeper, ongoing therapeutic work tailored to your ongoing personal growth.

Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, so I aim to make the process as gentle and comfortable as possible. We begin with a free, informal introductory chat - either by phone or online - to talk through what brings you to therapy and answer any questions you might have. You are also very welcome to visit my therapy space at Cedar Farm beforehand to get a feel for the room. I am more than happy to show you around!

In our first full session, we will work entirely at your pace to explore your hopes for therapy, talk about any specific needs or preferences, and find out what feels safe and helpful for you. To ensure you feel completely clear and supported, we will go over a simple Working Agreement and Privacy Policy, so you know exactly what to expect from our time together and how we keep your information safe and confidential. My Privacy Policy is available on my website.
