Business Therapist for Professionals
Therapy designed for Professionals who can't switch off
Therapy in Cheshire & Online
Business Therapist for Professionals in demanding jobs
Most of the time you enjoy your job – the challenge, the stimulation, the changing dynamics. But lately, work is taking over. You’re overwhelmed, exhausted, struggling to enjoy life, and sometimes even thinking about quitting. You’ve worked too hard to get here for this to be your life.
It’s time you put work back in its place. And that’s where I come in.
I know it feels like a first-world problem (a phrase I hear a lot from clients). Like you should be able to push through or sort it yourself. But you’ve already tried that, and it’s not working.
I work with professionals in demanding careers, including Business Owners, Directors, Senior Leaders, Doctors, Lawyers, Finance Professionals, Creatives and Sports Professionals.
As a Business Therapist, I’ll help you understand WHY you keep doing the things that make life harder – your overthinking, overworking, impossible self-standards, and self-criticism. We’ll tackle the practical changes you need to make, alongside the beliefs and lifelong habits that make those changes so difficult.
Sometimes it’s about seeing things differently. Other times, it’s about learning to do things differently.

What is Business Therapy?
Business Therapy combines therapeutic approaches with practical, work-focused advice and strategies. It helps professionals understand and overcome the thoughts, beliefs and behaviours that are making their working lives more difficult.
We all have ideas about how we should be at work. How hard we should work, what we should achieve, how others should see us, and what it means if we make a mistake or let someone down. Often, we’re not even aware of these expectations, or how much they’re influencing the way we work.
Together, we’ll explore what’s making work feel increasingly overwhelming or unmanageable, challenge unhelpful expectations and make changes to how you think, work and respond to pressure.
And because work doesn’t exist in isolation, we’ll also look at how these difficulties spill over into your personal life, affecting your relationships, hobbies and ability to switch off.

Corporate Counselling for Anxiety
Anxiety is a real pain. You can have what should be a great life, but with anxiety in the mix it’s just not enjoyable, it’s a battle and an exhausting one at that. At the centre of anxiety is lots of overthinking – analysing the past and worrying about the future. In a lot of Corporate Jobs, analysing is a well refined skill, but it’s an unhelpful one in our personal life.
Whether you are experiencing lots of Worry (known as Generalised Anxiety Disorder ), have started experiencing Panic Attacks, or are just stuck constantly feeling anxious and not knowing why, Private CBT Therapy can provide evidence based strategies to help you regain control.
CBT Therapy – The Science behind Business Therapy
I’m a qualified and accredited CBT Therapist with over 6 years experience working with business owners and corporate professionals.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps you:
- Rewire negative thought patterns that fuel stress and anxiety
- Challenge limiting beliefs that hold you back
- Develop emotional resilience and build confidence
- Develop effective coping mechanisms
CBT is practical, science-backed, and results-driven – perfect for ambitious professionals who want tangible strategies that actually work and achieve long term change.
Business Coaching versus Therapy
Business Coaching and Therapy have similarities, but they also have differences in their purpose and focus. Business Coaching focuses predominantly on goals for the business – on growth, on success, on development, on performance – and coaches you through implementing steps towards this endeavour.
Therapy focuses on you and your emotional wellbeing, on symptoms that are impacting functioning – stress, anxiety, depression, overwhelm etc. It looks at problematic thinking, and dysfunctional responses and coping patterns. Therapy seeks to tackle the root of the problem, to build your emotional resilience.
Business Therapy allows you to explore all you would in therapy, whilst connecting this to what it means for you at work. When business guidance is provided, it is on the basis of considering what is best for you and your wellbeing, not just what’s best for the business.
Why Work with Me?
Why you’ll like my brand of Therapy at Hannah Paskin Therapy
If you’re looking for someone who will lead the therapy, ask the difficult questions, challenge you when needed, and point out the patterns and blind spots you can’t see yourself… that’s me, hi!
We’ll go deep when we need to, but we won’t stay there longer than we need to. We’ll always be focused on helping you move forwards.
You’ll get honesty, common sense and expert guidance, all delivered with a healthy dose of laughter and the occasional swear word too.
You know what’s wrong, but not why.
You’ve probably already tried to solve this yourself through self-help books, podcasts or simply pushing through. The problem isn’t a lack of effort.
It’s hard to connect the dots when you’re living them. Together we’ll step back, connect the dots between your life experiences, how you’ve always coped, and the way you’re feeling today. It’s often the first time everything starts to make sense—and that’s where real change begins.
My diary is designed around busy professionals.
Choose the days/times every session that fit your availability (no fixed weekly slot requirement with me).
Choose from blocks of 12, 6 or 4 sessions.
Choose between weekly sessions, condensed sessions, or less frequent.
Choose between in-person Therapy in Cheshire (Middlewich) or Online Therapy from anywhere, or combine the two.
With over 14 years experience as a CBT therapist, I’ll introduce you to the most relevant and proven strategies, tailored specifically for high-achievers. Every session should feel worthwhile. Whether it’s a practical strategy, a different perspective, a lightbulb moment, or something to go away and try that week, you’ll leave sessions with something tangible. I’d encourage you to have a notepad every session, and expect between session work. This is active therapy.
My goal isn’t just to help you recover. It’s about making changes that stop you ending up back here again. Because this likely isn’t the first time you’ve struggled.
This isn’t about a quick fix. It’s about unpicking the ways you’ve always coped that have stopped working, and rebuilding a new way of operating. A version that is sustainable and allows you to keep moving forwards. Because what got you here won’t get you to where you want to go next.
And because you deserve to enjoy the life you’ve built.
