Before I tell you about me, I want to start with you.

Here’s what I want you to know :

If you have everything you need, why would you need to work with me?

What I know from my experience and that of the clients I have supported in their own journeys, is that we can’t see the label from inside the jar. What I mean is that we may KNOW what we need to do or want to do to move forward, but sometimes we need someone from the outside to guide us, to be accountable to, to cheerlead us and be that encouraging voice or helping hand when we go back to old habits. More than that, we need someone who will help us feel safe in this in this new way of being.

And that’s where I come in!

I’m Hannah, a trauma-informed therapeutic coach who believes that resilience lies within each of us and growth and healing are available and is possible for us all.

As a trauma survivor myself, I’m passionate about supporting women to break free from the chains of sexual trauma, ranging from sexual harassment to sexual abuse. This is likely also not the only trauma you have experienced so we also explore your other experiences.

This is because...

“Trauma is not what happens to us but what happens inside as a result of what has happened“

Gabor Mate

And so learning to befriend ourselves and the nervous system that has got us to this point is so crucial to this work. I see myself as a guide who walks alongside you to support you to rediscover your authentic self, connecting you to a sense of freedom and joy.

As a registered Art Psychotherapist and Certified Coach, trained in Brainspotting and embodied trauma-informed practices, I bring a deep understanding of how trauma affects us both mentally and physically. I'm here to empower you to reclaim your strength and resilience and start living the life you desire and deserve after trauma.

Reasons to work with me

Personal Experience: While everyone’s journey is different, I personally understand the impact of sexual trauma and have transformed this into strength and resilience, becoming a beacon for others on their own healing journey. Delve more into my story:

• Watch the Independent.ie Video Interview
  
• Read in the Belfast Telegraph
  
• Or read my chapter “The way out is to reach out” where I advocate that survivors of trauma ‘can be a survivor AND a thriver’
  

Diverse Healing Tools: As an Art Psychotherapist (HCPC), Certified coach (trained by international coach Andrea Callanan) and Phase 2 Brainspotting Practitioner (BSP UK), I blend various techniques such as inner child therapy, polyvagal theory, parts work and transformational coaching to tailor our sessions to your unique healing journey.

Tailored Approach: As someone with dyslexia, there’s no “one-size fits all” here!

I believe you are the expert on you and focus on the uniqueness of each individual. It’s important for me to offer a tailored approach, especially when learning and exploring self-care. This joint realtional approach helps create a safe, empowering environment where you can discover what works best for you.

“Recovery can take place only within then context of relationships; it cannot occur in isolation.”

Judith Lewis Herman

Continuous learning: As a life learner, I continue to challenge myself in my own professional and personal growth. I also practice what I preach and continually explore new tools to bring into our work. Recently I was part of a compassionate enquiry group and practice daily gratitudes with my partner.

Wide reach: I have supported over 100+ clients and helped them successfully overcome various challenges, such as relationship difficulties; setting boundaries; struggling to regulate emotions and lack of confidence. My approach has been effective for those who feel stuck despite having tried therapy or coaching before.
