"We think we listen, but very rarely do we do so with real understanding or true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know"
Carl Rogers

Hannah Woods, Counsellor

Welcome

My name's Hannah, and I aim to offer a safe and confidential space to my clients, where I can help them explore and overcome difficulties or challenging life experiences, and to gain greater understanding about themselves.

I have a real passion for counselling, and a genuine belief that counselling can have an amazing impact on a person. My work enables people to feel empowered and able to overcome challenges and discomfort, while also helping them feel validated, seen, heard and cared about.

 

Experience

I have had a passion for supporting others with their mental health since I can remember and have been very lucky to find employment in roles which allowed me to provide emotional support to those who needed it. I have also worked in education and offered support to students that had additional needs or required extra support due to difficult circumstances.

I have also volunteered with charities who offer in-the-moment support for vulnerable people. This has taught me a lot about how to offer compassion, empathy and emotionally safe spaces for people in crisis.
