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 is very approachable, very knowledgeable and has helped me so much with my OCD. Highly recommend her.
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.
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.

From the start Hannah made me feel at ease. I had intense sessions with her over the course of one month and she has truly made a difference in my life. Her strategies to help me overcome my anxiety were simple, yet so effective and I’m now learning these tools in my day to day life.
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 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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQS
What type of therapist are you, what are your qualifications, experience and accreditations?
I’m a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I have a post-graduate degree in CBT, which I completed in 2013. I had been working as a CBT Therapist full time since then. I am accredited with the BABCP. I have been working in therapy services since 2008. I worked in NHS funded services for 10 years.
Who do you work with in therapy?
I work with adults, and only individually. This means I don’t work with under 18s, and I don’t work with couples. I specialise in working with busy professionals looking for help with anxiety and stress.
How do I know if I need therapy?
Just the fact that you’re considering it, suggests it’s likely already time for therapy. Most clients in therapy say they wish they had done it sooner. If you are being negatively impacted by your emotions, if your thoughts are getting in the way, if you’re struggling to live the way you want to, therapy could help. The need for therapy generally arises when the consequences start to really show themselves and you just functioning is starting to feel difficult.
How many therapy sessions will I need?
Typically, clients will come for between 6-20 sessions, depending on how much input they want or need. Some clients will come for a smaller number of sessions to gain self-insight and learn effective strategies and then continue implementing this by themselves. Others will choose to have weekly sessions for support until they have fully overcome their problem.
When and where do you offer therapy sessions?
I’m a therapist with my own private therapy room in Middlewich in Cheshire. I also deliver Online CBT Therapy via Zoom. I work Monday-Friday 10:00am – 6:00pm with appointments between 10.30am and 5.30pm. You can book online here.
Where I can I read reviews of you as a therapist?
You can read reviews of me on both Google and Trustpilot.
Will you contact my GP?
Not usually. We only contact other professionals such as GPs if there is a concern about your or someone else’s safety. Otherwise, private therapy is confidential and is not recorded on your medical record.
