My Journey

I get it because I’ve been where you are. I understand the drive for success, the internal pressure for perfection, the repeated self-abandonment of your needs for others, and the brutality of burnout. Because I’m a recovering Perfectionist, a recovering People-pleaser, and I had 3 Burnouts before 40. I know how debilitating and frustrating it is, but I also know how to break free.

Results Focused Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is like an operating system upgrade for your brain – it rewires the way you think, react and cope. What I love about CBT Therapy it is it encompasses lots of common sense and explanations for our emotions that we can all understand and connect to.

What CBT can do for you:

Private CBT Sessions mainly focus on the here & now and how to move forwards, but it’s also important to look to the past to get to the root of the problem and make sense of our triggers to enable a better response to them in the future.

At Hannah Paskin Therapy, I will create a tailored treatment plan, selecting the most effective strategies for you and your symptoms.

A Quick Peek at My CV

For those who want a nosey, here’s a quick run-down

The fun bits (Because therapists are people too)

Just like my (very spoilt) cat Coco, I’m a massive sun worshipper & have never been on a cold/snow holiday. Music and Theatre are huge parts of my life outside of work and my happy place is in the audience of a gig/show! I’m super allergic to nature but do love to garden & watch things grow (although I’m quite skilled at killing things too). Bumble bees are my favourite garden creature, their fluffy bums and helpful nature is adorable. Like everyone else, I’m a flawed human, and still figuring some bits out. I’m a proper night owl, and my first decision when I started my business was never to work before 10am, ha ha.

Read lots of 5 ★ reviews of me:

Hannah is absolutely fantastic at what she does. She has enabled me to turn my life around from a very difficult place. There is a lot more to do, but the place she has already got me to is so far away from where I was, and I am immensely grateful. She has given me guidance, clarity and perspective where I had none. She is an inspiration, and a fantastic therapist.

Hannah helped me out of the dark at a very difficult time in my life. I first started seeing Hannah whilst struggling severely with anxiety and the depression that comes with it. I was off work and struggling with day to day life. Through working with Hannah I have come to understand my anxiety better, learnt tools to better manage it and embrace that I am not my anxiety. I couldn’t be more grateful to Hannah and the 150% better place I am in than when we first started.

My therapist Hannah was excellent. She helped me to identify and face my worries, anxieties and concerns. She provided and suggested techniques and strategies to help me to deal with them. She has helped me to improve the quality of my life. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hannah to anyone with anxieties.

Hannah supported me through a very difficult time. She was very easy to talk to and made you feel very comfortable. I would recommend Hannah and would certainly return myself to see Hannah over others if I needed to.

It has been such a good experience working with Hannah throughout my time of CBT. She has been so easy to talk to and I always felt at ease talking about my worries. She is very knowledgeable and always listens. The approaches Hannah taught me have really helped me work through my worries and continue to help me daily. I will always be grateful for everything. Thank you! I would highly recommend.

I am currently in the middle of my course of therapy sessions with Hannah and I have found them extremely helpful. Hannah is helping me to understand a lot more about myself and the people surrounding me. She is very easy to talk to and right from the start felt that I could trust her and just be myself.

I found Hannah very approachable and easy to talk with. She has an ability to see through the chaos and get straight to the issues. I have no hesitation in recommending Hannah.

Hannah is absolutely first class – knowledgeable, practical, clear, patient, friendly – and my 6 months of therapy with her really has made a major difference to my dealing with workplace stress and anxiety. Highly recommended.

Hannah was a brilliant therapist from the outset, very approachable, down to earth & straight talking. Her support and guidance has made me learn new ways to deal with situations and has improved many aspects of my wellbeing already. I couldn’t recommend Hannah highly enough.

Hannah has been supporting me for a number of months to get back and remain at work. Initially I was a bit nervous about what to expect. It took a session or two for me to feel she had the measure of me and my concerns. Since then she has been amazing – reliable, kind, understanding, punctual, patient. She has enabled me to imagine returning to work while keeping my family intact. Thank you. Highly recommended.

Excellent therapist who gives useful and also realistic advice in helping with numerous mental health issues.

Brilliant therapist who helped me through a very difficult time in my life.

What a great person to speak to. I feel so much better after our sessions and I can not thank her enough.

Would highly recommend. Hannah has been brilliant at guiding me through OCD Therapy

Exceptional CBT. Hannah’s no-nonsense approach has let to some really significant improvements in my mental health, confidence and approach to life.

High recommend. Gave me the tools and support to get me back onto my feet.

Since starting therapy with Hannah, I have already seen an improvement in my OCD struggles. Hannah's methods of empathetic listening mixed in with straightforward talking has really helped me face my OCD from a stronger place. Would very highly recommend!

Fantastic and straight to the point. Really benefited from these sessions.

Hannah is very pragmatic and calls upon her considerable experience to offer solutions and advice to both real and imagined (exaggerated) problems. I don’t gel with therapists who simply mirror by asking what you think you should do! Hannah is definitely far more proactive than this. She helped me through anxiety I was feeling due to my ongoing divorce. I recommend her highly! Thank you Hannah.

Hannah provided excellent therapy and advice on how to deal with my ocd, which has greatly helped me be able to continue with life as normal whilst managing the condition. She provided the right blend of understanding and sense to ensure I was taking the right steps in dealing with the condition.

Exceptional CBT After many years of learning good CBT strategies, but with nothing sticking or becoming permanent, Hannah's no-nonsense approach has led to some really significant improvement in my mental health, confidence and approach to life

Hannah is exactly as her description says - Straight-talking that is founded in understanding, knowledge and extensive experience. The months I was fortunate to meet with Hannah have been fundamental for me in gaining clarity, processing difficult experiences and progressing into significantly improved mental health and well-being. She is wonderfully compassionate and skilled at her job, wholeheartedly recommend!

Hannah is wonderful. She encouraged me to go out into the wide world and test out what I learned with challenges set each session, I felt entirely in control and rapidly grew in confidence. I now have tools for life that have literally changed my life in so many ways for the better. If you want to learn and understand how to be the best you can be efficiently and effectively, Hannah is the woman for the job!

Over the years I have tried a number of counsellors and psychologists. There seemed no hope of getting any understanding of my continued depression. Then I was referred to Hannah. Someone who knew quickly where my issues started. Once I had that, the sessions built success and enabled me to understand and control my future. Its not gone but it makes sense. I would highly recommend her services.

Hannah has been the rock of guidance that I needed. I'm still working with her on myself and imagine I will for sometime. I'm glad to have found a therapist that is straight talking and suited to what I need. Lovely person and I have and would recommend to others.

I have been seeing Hannah for therapy sessions for nearly 6 months now and the difference Hannah's support and guidance has made to my wellbeing has been phenomenal. Hannah is patient, honest and extremely knowledgeable in many areas. She doesn't just tell me what I want to hear either which is the best approach as it means I am actually making progress. I couldn't recommend Hannah highly enough.

I feel very lucky to have been able to obtain support from Hannah. She is empathetic, compassionate and highly skilled at her job. I would highly recommend her to all.

From the start Hannah supported me and provided me with excellent guidance through a very difficult time in my life. Her methods worked wonders. She gave me insights and tools that were simple to grasp yet profoundly effective, allowing me to heal and grow. I am truly grateful for her help and I am in a completely different place now thanks to Hannah.

Hannah helped me out of the dark at a very difficult time in my life. I first started seeing Hannah whilst struggling severely with anxiety and the depression that comes with it. I was off work and struggling with day to day life. Through working with Hannah I have come to understand my anxiety better, learnt tools to better manage it and embrace that I am not my anxiety. I couldn't be more grateful to Hannah and the 150% better place I am in than when we first started.
