Hi, I’m Hannah
I’m a Counsellor, Coach and Mentor, and the founder of Psykhe.
I know that reaching our for support can feel daunting. My aim is to create a space where you can slow down, feel genuinely heard, and explore whatever is important to you without judgement or pressure. I don’t believe therapy is about having all the answers or trying to become someone different. Instead, it’s about creating enough space to notice what’s been happening, understand yourself with greater curiosity and compassion, and discover what helps you move forward.
My practice is integrative and neuroaffirmative, drawing on relational psychodynamic therapy alongside person-centred, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and compassion-focused approaches. Rather than believing there’s one "‘right’ way to work, I tailor therapy and coaching to the person in front of me.
I have particular experience supporting autistic, ADHD and AuDHD adults and teenagers, including those exploring diagnosis, identity, masking, burnout and workplace wellbeing. Alongside this, I work with people experiencing anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, stress, trauma and major life transitions.
My own autism journey sparked a deep curiosity about identity, belonging and self-understanding, which ultimately led me into counselling psychology. Today, my research, clinical work and teaching continue to explore these themes, and they remain at the heart of how I work.
Above all, I believe therapy isn’t about becoming someone different, it’s about understanding yourself with curiosity and compassion, so you can build a life that feels more like your own.

Alongside private practice, I have experience across NHS, education, higher education and workplace settings. My work has included psychological therapy, coaching, neurodivergence support, teaching, specialist assessment, group facilitation and reflective practice.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me walking in nature, swimming outdoors, lifting weights, exploring psychology books or recording episodes of the Divergent Vibes podcast. I believe curiosity, creativity and playfulness are just as important for wellbeing as insight, and I try to bring those values into both my life and my work.
About Psykhe
Psykhe Services was created from a desire to help people understand themselves more deeply and create lives that feel authentic, meaningful and sustainable.
The name Psykhe comes from the Greek word that gives us psychology. Often translated as the soul, mind or breath of life, it reflects the belief that wellbeing is about more than reducing symptoms, it’s about understanding the whole of who you are.
Carl Jung used the term psyche to describe the entirety of our inner world: our conscious thoughts, unconscious processes, emotions, relationships and potential for growth. That idea sits at the heart of Psykhe.
I believe meaningful change begins with curiousity, compassion and self-understanding.
Rather than trying to become someone different, the work is often about coming home to who you already are.

Our Values
Curiosity - We start from a place of wanting to understand, to learn, to help you understand yourself more, to explore - we don’t know what works for you but we’re help to help you to discover what does
Creativity - We draw on lots of different ways of working, ideas, creative ways of expressing and working and we think creatively too
Connection - We believe there is a real value in the connections and support that comes from a sense of community and a sense of belonging, that’s why we’re passionate about finding, or creating, safe, neuro-affirmative spaces
Playfulness - There is something playful in the way we work, there is a sense of experimenting - trying things out, exploring, discovering, there is humour and maybe even fun when we can find it in what can feel really challenging
