About Hannah:

Hannah has always had a genuine passion for working with and supporting people. Her interest in understanding human behaviour, relationships and emotional wellbeing has shaped both her professional journey and her approach to therapy.

Hannah completed a Bachelor of Human Services and a Master of Social Work between 2008 and 2011. She went on to undertake Advanced Clinical Training in Relational Gestalt Psychotherapy between 2011 and 2014, followed by Advanced Clinical Training in Child-Centred Play Therapy between 2015 and 2016.

Hannah began her career as a social worker in 2011, became a Mental Health Social Worker in 2014 and commenced working in private practice later that year. Hannah expanded her private practice to incorporate Child-Centred Play Therapy in 2017, providing therapeutic support to children, alongside the therapy she was already providing to teens and adults. Hannah has undertaken additional professional development in child development and supporting parents and carers, areas in which she continues to hold a strong professional interest. During her work in out-of-home care, antenatal clinic and family and children’s ward in the hospital setting, she has worked closely and intensively with parents/ carers and children. Hannah found her work with children and families particularly rewarding and values the knowledge and experience this has brought to her broader therapeutic practice. Since becoming a mother herself, Hannah has chosen to focus her clinical work on adults and adolescents aged 16 years and over. She continues to have a particular interest in supporting parents and carers.

Hannah is committed to ongoing professional development and continues to engage in training, learning and exploring developments within the mental health field. Her genuine curiosity about people and passion for psychotherapy continue to inspire her work.

She has a particular interest in the connection between physical and mental wellbeing, including the roles of nutrition, gut health, movement, sleep and lifestyle in supporting overall health. Hannah also has a strong interest in neuroscience and the ways our biology and nervous system influence our emotional wellbeing. She enjoys exploring how these different aspects of health can inform a more holistic understanding of mental health.

As a therapist, Hannah strives to be warm, compassionate, authentic and approachable. She believes that feeling safe, understood and accepted is central to the therapeutic process. She considers it a privilege to be trusted with people’s experiences and to support them in developing greater self-awareness, resilience and meaningful change.

Outside of her professional life, Hannah is a mum of two boys and enjoys spending time with family and friends, gardening, travelling, music, exploring food and socialising. She values connection, curiosity and finding balance in everyday life.
