Therapies
Counselling and Hypnotherapy
Hello, I’m Hannah,
I offer a warm, grounded and trauma-informed therapeutic space for adults and young people 18+ who are struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficult childhood experiences, trauma or grief.
My work brings together integrative counselling approaches, hypnotherapy.
Everything is paced gently and shaped around what feels safe and helpful for you.
I work with clients in Blackawton near Totnes, at The Devon Clinic in Paignton, online via Zoom.

counselling sessions are tailored to your unique concerns, providing support as you navigate life's challenges. Through a collaborative approach, we empower you to overcome obstacles and create a fulfilling life. Using a blend of conversation and creative techniques such as sand tray work, pebbles, buttons, and other hands-on experiments we explore the connections between your past and present, helping you shape the future you desire.

Hypnotherapy sessions are a blend of talking therapy and hypnosis. Hypnosis is simply a natural state of mind where you relax into a comfortable state of awareness. As your body relaxes and your mind becomes more focused, you can gain deeper insight into the root cause of an issue. This heightened state of awareness allows you to explore underlying thoughts, emotions, or experiences, helping you make meaningful changes.

"EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) uses bilateral stimulation—eye movements, tapping, or sound—to help the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing emotional intensity and forming adaptive associations. Highly structured, it desensitises emotional triggers from past trauma. When combined with hypnotherapy and talk therapy, it creates a powerful, multi-layered approach to healing."
What I can help with?
Life can feel overwhelming, and therapy offers a space to reflect, gain clarity, and find solutions. Clients seek therapy for many reasons, including:
-
Difficult childhoods – Growing up in environments where emotional needs weren’t fully met, or where there was instability, neglect, or complex family dynamics
-
Emotional struggles – Overwhelm, stress, uncertainty
-
Relationship challenges – Romantic, family, or workplace issues
-
Trauma & past experiences – Healing from childhood or life events
-
Anxiety & stress – Persistent worry, difficulty managing pressure
-
Grief & loss – Coping with bereavement, change, or transitions
-
Self-esteem & motivation – Building confidence, overcoming self-doubt
-
Social anxiety – Fear of judgment, avoidance behaviours
-
Personal & career growth – Life transitions, new goals, self-discovery
-
Depression & low mood – Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or exhaustion
-
Sleep issues – Insomnia, restless nights, chronic fatigue
-
Fears & phobias – Specific fears, panic attacks, general anxiety
-
Post-traumatic stress – Lingering effects of trauma
Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I am here to help you find clarity, relief, and a path forward.
Initial 15-minute chat
Your initial 15-minute chat is a gentle starting point. It’s a chance for us to meet and for you to get a feel for whether I’m the right fit for you.
I’ll begin by explaining how the call works so you know what to expect, which often helps ease any nerves.
You’re then invited to share a little about what’s brought you to therapy, at your own pace. I’ll listen carefully and reflect back what I’m hearing so you feel understood from the outset.
I’ll briefly explain how I work, answer any questions, and we’ll check whether it feels like a good fit. If it does, we can look at next steps together.
There’s no pressure to commit. Just a calm, supportive space to begin.
Please note my therapy days are:
Monday and Tuesday - The Devon Clinic, Paignton
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - Langwells Therapy Room, Blackawton , near Woodlands leisure park.
Counselling client feedback
If you are looking for a perceptive, kind and intuitive counsellor, Hannah is the one! I really enjoyed our sessions together as she has a wealth of strategies and approaches and really listens to what you are wanting to achieve. I was very keen to be challenged rather than just listened to and Hannah gently guided me towards a more positive way of accepting the reality and moving forwards in my situation. I would highly recommend her and think you are lucky to have found her!
