Get to know Hannah

I am a compassionate counsellor based near Dover, Kent. I invite you to come just as you are, and together, we can explore the areas that you’re finding difficult and the emotions that emerge for you.

Lean More

I am an integrative counsellor with a Gestalt focus.

My therapeutic style is rooted in understanding and appreciating your uniqness and the whole of who you are, the relationship and developing trust with one another sits at the heart of my work.

I believe that all emotions hold deep value, and when we allow ourselves to fully experience them without judgment, we open up to freedom, gain the power to choose our responses, and uncover new meaning in our lives.

Ignoring what hurts us only leads to unresolved feelings that resurface later and suppressing emotions drains our energy and affects both our mental and physical health. That’s why our work together will honour all parts of you—mind, body, heart, and spirit.

At the heart of this journey is the relationship we build. It’s a partnership rooted in trust. As your counsellor, I’ll listen with empathy and compassion, and safely support you as we explore difficult emotions, and hold space for the things you find difficult. I’ll also challenge you to see things in new ways, helping you restore balance and connect with yourself and life more fully.
