A space for you to be heard, understood and supported
Sometimes life can feel difficult to manage. You might be trying to keep everything going, looking after others, or dealing with feelings that are hard to understand. Perhaps you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted. You may not be quite sure what you need, only that things don’t feel right.
You don’t need to know where to start or have the right words. We can begin wherever you are.
I’m Hannah, a Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (MBACP) and former NHS nurse. I offer a warm, supportive and confidential space where you can talk openly, explore what’s happening for you and take things at your own pace, without feeling judged.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm and significant life changes. You may be struggling with work pressures, family relationships, changing circumstances or finding it difficult to make time for yourself.
Alongside my counselling experience, my professional background includes nursing, supporting children with autism and ADHD in a special needs school, and training in Creative Therapeutic Expressive Arts. These experiences have shaped my understanding that everyone has their own story and that there is no single way to express how we feel.
Talking can help, but sometimes words are hard to find. If it feels right for you, we can also explore creative ways to express your thoughts and feelings. There is no pressure to do anything you’re not comfortable with; we can find what works for you together.
I offer person-centred and integrative counselling by telephone, online or face-to-face. I also offer a free 15-minute introductory conversation, giving us an opportunity to talk about what brings you to counselling and whether working together feels right.
Taking that first step can feel daunting, but you don’t need to have everything figured out before you reach out.
You deserve a space where you can be heard, understood and supported.
that feel difficult to navigate.
At Talk and Reflect, I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, explore your feelings and begin to make sense of what is happening.
I am a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor offering person-centred and integrative counselling in South Croydon, as well as online and telephone sessions.
You don’t have to face everything alone. Sometimes having someone genuinely listen can be the beginning of positive change.

How counselling may help
People come to counselling for many different reasons. You may know exactly what is troubling you, or you may simply have a feeling that something isn’t right.
I offer counselling for adults experiencing:
Anxiety and stress
Are you constantly worrying, overthinking or finding it difficult to switch off? Counselling can provide space to explore what is contributing to your anxiety and how it is affecting your life.
Relationships and family difficulties
Relationships can be complicated. You may be experiencing difficulties with a partner, family members or friendships, or finding it hard to establish healthy boundaries.
Confidence and self-esteem
Perhaps you struggle with self-doubt, people pleasing or feeling that you are never quite good enough. Counselling can help you explore how you see yourself and what may be holding you back.
Life changes and transitions
Separation, bereavement, changes in family circumstances, career pressures and other significant life events can leave us feeling uncertain. Having someone to talk to can help you process these experiences.
Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted
Sometimes the demands of everyday life become too much. You may be used to putting other people first and find it difficult to recognise or prioritise your own needs.
A little about me
Hello, I’m Hannah, a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
I understand that choosing a counsellor can feel like a big step. Finding someone you feel comfortable talking to is important, and I aim to offer a space where you can feel accepted, respected and heard.
I work using a person-centred and integrative approach, recognising that everyone is different. Our work together will be shaped around your individual experiences, needs and what feels important to you.
Alongside my counselling training and experience, I bring over 20 years of professional experience across healthcare, nursing, education and special educational needs.
These experiences have helped me develop an understanding of people, relationships and the different challenges life can bring.
I believe that counselling is not about being told what to do. It is about having the opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and consider what you would like to be different.
My approach to counselling
I offer person-centred and integrative counselling, placing you and your experiences at the heart of our work.
I believe the counselling relationship is important. Feeling safe, understood and accepted can help you explore things that may be difficult to talk about elsewhere.
There is no expectation that you arrive with all the answers. We can take time to understand what has brought you to counselling and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
My aim is to provide a confidential and supportive environment where you can be yourself without fear of judgement.
Counselling appointments
I offer individual counselling for adults.
Face-to-face counselling

I believe it is important to be clear and transparent about counselling fees.
