About
About me
I’m Hannah, a person-centred counsellor based in Northamptonshire. I offer a calm and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted just as you are. Together, we can explore what feels most important for you, at a pace that feels safe.
I have a particular focus on supporting people affected by trauma, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. Whether you’re working through the impact of the past, navigating a big life change, or simply needing space to pause and reflect, you don’t have to do it alone.
I offer one-to-one counselling for adults in a way that fits your life; in a private therapy room, outdoors with walk-and-talk sessions, or online so you can connect from home.
How i can help
- Anxiety, panic or persistent worry
- Low mood or emptiness
- Trauma or difficult past experiences
- Relationship or family struggles
- Shame, low self-worth or identity issues
- Grief, loss and life changes
- Impact of sexual violence or abuse
How we can work together
in person
I offer traditional counselling in a private, welcoming space, where you can feel comfortable and at ease. You can choose between a peaceful countryside setting in Quinton (NN7), surrounded by nature, or a convenient, calm space in Northampton town centre (NN1).
walk & Talk
Outdoor therapy offers a chance to talk while enjoying gentle movement and the fresh air. It works much like regular therapy, but being in nature can help you feel calmer, more relaxed, and more able to open up. We’ll agree on a location when you book.
Online
Secure video sessions, giving you the flexibility to connect from the comfort of your own space when meeting in person isn’t possible. Just like face-to-face therapy, these sessions are shaped around your needs.

A structured, practical approach
This approach focuses on the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Together, we can explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical tools and strategies to help you manage challenges more effectively.
Helpful if you’re: experiencing anxiety, panic, or persistent worry; dealing with phobias or obsessive thoughts; struggling with stress; noticing unhelpful cycles of behaviour; or wanting clear strategies to support your daily life.
Many people find this approach brings insight, practical coping skills, and a greater sense of control over their day-to-day challenges.
