Hannah | Counsellor

Introduction

Are you exhausted with life as it looks now and desperate for a change? When we're already overwhelmed, and then life events happen, loss happens, you just don't have the resilience to press on the way others seem to. Perhaps you've lost all sense of who you are anymore. There's nothing wrong with you, but I know that it can feel like there is. Support is at hand.

Sessions with me generally feel like an in-depth, caring conversation. I work hard to understand your inner world, without any judgement, so that together we can learn what resistance you're facing to reaching your goals, and where that's coming from.

Change does not happen in isolation, and often my clients have come to focus on one area of their lives but found that many other parts are connected, and the impact of counselling is more far reaching than they had imagined. You may not even be entirely sure what the problem is, only that you want something to change. That is a perfectly good place to start.

I offer an open-ended way of working so there's no limit on the number of sessions. My clients have expressed to me that they have started to feel more purposeful, lighter, more joyful, more authentic... If this sounds like your goals, let's start an ongoing conversation that goes at your pace and focuses on you for once.

Online therapy

I use Google Meet so that my clients can access therapy without having to download anything or pay for a platform. When you've paid for your session, I send you an invitation via email for the agreed day and time, and when you accept it will add it to your Google calendar so you can also get reminders. I generally call it 'Session' so it doesn't raise any eyebrows if anyone else sees it, but I can title it whatever you want if you are aiming for subtlety and someone else may see.

During our first session, I will talk you through the Shared Agreement that I'll have sent you previously to make sure you understand what to expect from counselling and we have agreed boundaries. This agreement doesn't tie you into any number of sessions- that is all for you to decide.

After that, we just talk. It's as simple as that. I sent over an intake form before we start to get an idea of your goals, so we'll probably start there if you're not sure what to talk about first, but ultimately these sessions are for you to bring whatever's foremost in your mind.

Sessions are 50mins long.

Specialisations and Expertises

I work at your pace with an unlimited number of sessions so that we can look at you as a complicated person with a history that brought you to this point, not as a diagnosis or a situation to be managed. I'm an integrative therapist, meaning I have been trained in various ways of working in order to be able to tailor my approach to you. If you want to be very solution-focused, we can do that. If you prefer to talk organically and start noticing the themes that keep unfolding, perfect.

My work depend on us developing a working relationship built on trust so I prioritise being consistent, supportive, non-judgemental and warm. Ultimately, I want you to understand that you can bring the darkest parts of yourself and be met with kindness and compassion.

Most common issues I support people with:

I work with a wide variety of topics, as most people have a complex inner world for us to dive into, however themes that have come up often include:

Identity issues: including how they view their LGBTQ+ identity, uncertainty over personal goals, and live after loss

Anxiety: including panic attacks, general anxiety, and recognising high functioning anxiety

Burnout: including feeling overwhelmed, numb to emotion, and mental overload

People pleasing: including lack of awareness around boundaries- how to set them and why they're important

Low Self-Esteem: including lack of confidence, feeling trapped or used, and lack of self compassion.

I've also supported clients who are neurodiverse become more accepting of themselves, recognise their needs and achieve more regulation and balance.

Fees

My face to face fee is £50 plus the room hire (£15) so £65 total. Sessions are 50mins and take place in the St John's Counselling rooms in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. If you require a downstairs rooms for accessibility, please let me know when booking as some are upstairs.

My online fee is £50 per session. Sessions are 50mins and via Google Meet, which is free to use and doesn't require a download.

I'm also happy to do a mixture of online and face to face if that is more convenient to allow you to attend weekly for the most benefits. For example, people who travel for work may prefer this option.
