Positivity - referring to positive change. Actions and decisions leading to improvement and betterment in a situation, person or system.

Wellbeing - a state of being comfortable, healthy or happy.

Whatever problems you are experiencing, talking to a trained therapist can be a valuable step to identifying and accessing appropriate support.

Positivity and Wellbeing is a reflection of my passion for helping others.  With Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy as my core therapeutic approaches but regular use of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) among other wellbeing management techniques, there are many ways that I am able to help people overcome their difficulties. As I have experienced animals assisting the therapy process, my own dog Evie often plays a role such as comforting and grounding clients. 

Although still working in the public health sector, the private clinic provides a means to access evidence-based support in an efficient and timely manner. 

I am qualified to work with a wide range of presentations however like many individuals I do have areas of particular specialism;

• Post traumatic stress presentations

• Maternal mental health (during pregnancy and up to two year after the baby is born) including perinatal loss, birth trauma, pre- and post-partum anxiety & depression presentations, difficulties with fertility.
• Paternal mental health (difficulties adjusting to impending or new fatherhood)

• Anxiety Disorders 

 Testimonial

“Having lived with my phobia for 25 years, I was worried that I may be beyond help! I was incredibly nervous initially about what the treatment would involve, but also about opening up and talking to a therapist.  Looking back, I am just so relieved that I took that first step of reaching out for help.  The difference in my day to day life since I started treatment is huge. At the start of this year, I was exhausted from the constant anxiety and obsessive thoughts and behaviours that came with my phobia.  Now, I feel like the most enormous weight has been lifted.  Hannah made me feel immediately at ease and set me tasks that were challenging yet manageable. She provided exactly the right amount of support to help me progress, whilst building my self confidence and enabling me ultimately, to manage this fear for myself. I would definitely recommend this service to others and would like to thank Hannah for her support, patience and unwavering confidence!” – Specific Animal Phobia,
