Who Am I
Hi Everyone, I’m Hannah, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with a colorful background. I’m a mix of Irish and Myanmar heritage, which gives me a unique perspective. Trained in the UK, I’ve spent most of my life in South East Asia, blending cultural insights with therapy.
I Love Working With
I absolutely thrive working with a range of issues, particularly those concerning children and adolescents. Whether it’s navigating behavioral challenges, supporting individuals dealing with anxiety and depression, addressing learning difficulties, or helping with social and emotional struggles, I’m passionate about guiding young minds toward growth and resilience.
Additionally, I find immense fullfillment in assisting couples, parents and parents-to-be through parenting stress and anxiety, conception, loss and pregnancy, navigating marital or relationship difficulties, managing mental health challenges, and offering practical parenting skills training. It’s incredibly rewarding to empower families to build stronger bonds and overcome obstacles together.
Some of My Favorite Approaches
I take an integrative approach to my therapeutic practice because I firmly believe that one size does not fit all. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic models, including but not limited to Gottman Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, I tailor my interventions to meet the unique needs and preferences of each individual or couple I work with. This ensures a personalized and effective therapeutic experience that resonates with my clients on a deeper level.
How I Can Help
I understand that navigating challenges within your family can feel overwhelming at times, and I’m here to provide support tailored to your unique situation. Whether you’re a couple seeking assistance with relationship issues or parents seeking support for your children, I offer a compassionate and personalized approach to therapy. From addressing behavioral challenges, anxiety, and depression in children and adolescents to providing guidance on parenting stress, marital conflicts, and mental health challenges, such as birth trauma and postnatal depression or anxiety, I’m dedicated to helping your family thrive. By incorporating effective techniques from therapeutic models like Gottman Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, I empower you to strengthen your family bonds and navigate through difficulties with confidence and resilience.
I believe
I firmly believe that children are not problems to be solved, but individuals to be understood. Each child is unique and deserving of empathy, respect, and support as they navigate the complexities of life. Additionally, I hold the belief that all couples have the capacity to build healthy and fulfilling relationships. Whether newlyweds, you’re already parents or preparing to become parents, fostering a strong and supportive partnership is essential for creating a nurturing environment for your family. By prioritizing communication, understanding, and mutual respect, couples can overcome challenges and cultivate lasting harmony in their relationship, ultimately providing a solid foundation for their children’s well-being and development.
What it’s like in a Session with Me
During a session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you feel comfortable expressing yourself freely. My demeanor is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and supportive, as I strive to create a safe space for open and honest communication. Whether you’re an individual, a couple, or a family, I approach each session with compassion and respect for your unique experiences and perspectives. My communication style is collaborative and transparent, as I believe in fostering a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust and mutual understanding. Together, we’ll work towards your goals using a tailored approach that incorporates evidence-based techniques and draws from various therapeutic modalities. Throughout our sessions, you can expect to feel heard, validated, and empowered as we explore your challenges, strengths, and opportunities for growth. Ultimately, my goal is to support you in achieving greater insight, resilience, and well-being, both personally and in your relationships.
More about me
In addition to my professional side, I’d love to share a bit about myself on a more personal level. I’m a proud parent of three children and a devoted dog Mum. Outside of work, you’ll often find me savoring a good meal, or getting lost in a good book. I’m also a big fan of indulging in the occasional massage—it’s my go-to for relaxation and self-care. As someone who has experienced the joys and challenges of parenthood firsthand, I bring a deep understanding and empathy to my work with families and children. Additionally, my familiarity with the international school system enables me to offer valuable insights and support to clients navigating this complex educational landscape. These life experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, emphasizing empathy, understanding, and practical support.
