If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or struggling with difficult emotions or relationships, you’re not alone. Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, but it can also be the beginning of positive change.
I offer a safe, supportive, and confidential space where you can talk openly about what’s on your mind, at your own pace. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, grief, or feeling stuck in life, I am here to listen and support you.
How Counselling Can Help
Counselling gives you the time and space to explore your thoughts and feelings more deeply, helping you to better understand yourself and your experiences. Together, we can work towards:
- Making sense of difficult emotions
- Improving self-confidence and self-esteem
- Finding healthier ways to cope with stress and anxiety
- Navigating relationship challenges
- Feeling more in control and able to move forward
I offer a warm, non-judgemental approach, where you will be listened to with empathy and respect. Rather than giving advice, I will support you in finding your own answers and building greater self-awareness and resilience.
A Safe and Confidential Space
Everything you share in counselling is treated with care and confidentiality (with a few safety-related exceptions, which can be discussed). My aim is to create an environment where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported throughout our work together.
Take the First Step
If you’re considering counselling for anxiety, stress, or other personal challenges, you’re welcome to get in touch. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and see if I’m the right fit for you.
About Me
Hello, my name is Hannah (MBACP) and I am a fully qualified Humanistic Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work in line with their ethical framework, ensuring a high standard of professionalism, confidentiality, and care in all of my work. I am fully insured, DBS checked, and registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
I offer online counselling across the UK for adults (18+) and support people experiencing a range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel comfortable to explore whatever is on your mind, without fear of judgement.
My journey into counselling was shaped by a strong desire to support others with their mental health and emotional wellbeing. During my training, I gained valuable experience working with adults in local counselling services, where I developed my skills in offering compassionate, client-centred support. I qualified in 2024 with a Diploma in Counselling (Dip. Couns).
I believe that being truly heard and understood can be a powerful part of the healing process. My aim is to offer a calm, genuine, and empathetic space where you can begin to make sense of your experiences and move towards positive change.
Outside of my work as a counsellor, I enjoy reading and practising Pilates, which helps me maintain balance and wellbeing in my own life.

How I Work
I am a qualified Humanistic Counsellor, trained in Person-Centred Counselling. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. My approach is based on the belief that you are the expert in your own life, and together we can work to better understand your experiences and what you need moving forward
I provide counselling for adults (18+) experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. I aim to create a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported.
What to Expect
Sessions are typically held weekly and last 50 minutes, either online (via Zoom) or by prior agreement. The number of sessions can be short-term, long-term, or open-ended, depending on your individual needs, goals, and circumstances.
In our work together, I will:
- Listen with empathy and without judgement
- Support you in exploring your thoughts and emotions
- Help you gain clarity and self-understanding
- Work at a pace that feels comfortable for you
Introductory Session
I offer a free 15-minute introductory call via phone or Zoom. This is an opportunity for us to briefly discuss what brings you to counselling, what you hope to gain, and for you to get a sense of whether I feel like the right therapist for you.
There is no obligation to continue after this call. If you decide you would like to work together, you can then book a full 50-minute session.
Fees
Sessions are priced at £55.
Get in Touch
If you’re considering counselling for anxiety, stress, or other personal challenges, you’re welcome to get in touch for an informal chat or to arrange an introductory session. I understand that reaching out can feel like a big step, and I aim to make the process as comfortable and straightforward as possible.
