About Hannah
Hannah uses a conversational, person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on building a trusting working relationship. She aims to be respectful and sensitive while helping people set realistic goals for change.
Alongside client-centred work, Hannah uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns that cause distress. This can help when issues keep resurfacing or when past events feel linked to present problems. Trauma-focused approaches are brought in when difficult experiences need direct attention and careful processing.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, addictions, sleep and eating problems, and career or life-purpose questions. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, body image, communication and commitment worries, and midlife challenges.
Hannah describes therapy as a collaborative process. She will tailor sessions to each person’s needs and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress happens. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and she aims to provide steady support along the way.

How Hannah applies different approaches in online therapy
Hannah combines person-centred work with psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to meet each person's needs. Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on listening and collaborating so the person feels heard and can set their own goals. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from the past that repeat in current relationships and daily life to help change unhelpful cycles. Trauma-Focused Therapy brings careful, structured attention to distressing events when these are central to a person's difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Hannah will work collaboratively to decide which ideas and techniques fit your needs, goals and preferences. She adapts the plan as progress is made and checks in regularly about what is helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to speak from their own surroundings or who need flexible scheduling to balance work and family commitments.
