I combine somatic, body-based therapy with psychotherapy to guide you toward emotional and physical wholeness.

I’ll help you to understand how your past might be affecting you now - emotionally, psychologically, physically, socially and spiritually. We will work together one-to-one to un-earth, process and integrate these experiences.

I will support you to welcome all the different parts of yourself, allowing you to come to a place of self-compassion and self-acceptance - creating a fertile ground for growth and transformation.

121 Integrative Somatic Psychotherapy and Pre and Post-Natal Therapy.

I use an integrative approach to emotional wellbeing that incorporates the mind and body using traditional talking therapy, somatic therapy and yoga therapy.

I also specialise in working with women during pregnancy and postpartum. As a mother myself I know how crucial it is to support women through this huge transformation.

I combine all of my trainings, learnings and lived experiences in all of my client work, and also offer individualistic perinatal support to women through the initiation of motherhood — from conception, through pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Words from my clients

  • Integrative Psychotherapy with Hannah has been the most effective form of therapy I have ever experienced. The process of finding a therapist often requires a lot of trial and error, and over the years, I’ve tried a lot of different counsellors and therapists, but none have been so right for me and had such a positive impact on my life as working with Hannah. Hannah is able to take all of the threads that are tangled in my head, and hold onto the ends of them as we tease them out during our sessions. When another thread comes, she doesn’t lose the ones we’ve already half untangled; she holds them safely, and seamlessly returns to them when there’s more to come, to pull, to tease out and tie together with the end of another as we make sense of it all. Hannah’s approach feels very dynamic, drawing on a wide variety of tools and perspectives yet her ability to react quickly and find just the right way to address the matter at hand, is never scattered or rushed. She approaches everything with clarity, patience, and a true sense of grounding that makes me feel incredibly supported and safe to explore challenging elements of our work. No matter how much we explore during our sessions, even online, there is a sense of closure and containment that enables me to step away from the screen at the end of our sessions and move into the rest of the day without feeling disoriented or vulnerable. The deep inner work we have done together has directly impacted my daily life. The ripple effect of our therapy sessions has been huge, and I am so grateful to have met Hannah and to have her support as I work through things one at a time and integrate new ways of being into my life now.

  • Hannah accompanied me for half a year with therapy and thus supported me incredibly. Hannah's openness, calmness and empathy made me feel very comfortable at all times. I was going through a challenging time, being confronted with a female health issue. Intuitively, Hannah supported me with a varity of approaches so that I was able to get back to myself and my body, let go of tension and anxiety and regain more confidence and trust. I particularly liked that Hannah works with ancient techniques but also explained the current scientific state of these techniques. I deeply recommend working with Hannah. Thank you Hannah for your gentle support and beautiful energy!
