Hannah is a Clinical Psychologist with 15 years’ experience in the NHS, currently working in services supporting people later in life. She offer assessments and therapy to adults across the lifespan. Hannah works collaboratively, using psychological formulations to understand client's experiences within the context of their life story. Her approach is compassionate and tailored to her clients, creating a safe space to explore low mood, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, or the emotional impact of loss and caregiving.

 

Hannah provides ADHD and autism assessments following NICE guidelines. These guidelines focus on identifying areas of difficulty using a diagnostic framework, however she blends this with a neuroaffirming, strengths-based approach that values individuality and helps people deepen their understanding of themselves and how they experience the world.
