Philosophy & Vision
I’m Hannah, an accredited mental health social worker and EMDR practitioner from the UK. I relocated to Australia in 2014. My professional background is in children’s services, family violence, mental health, and clinical education.
I understand that engaging in trauma therapy takes courage, and I believe deeply in its potential to create meaningful healing and a renewed sense of freedom. My approach is warm and grounded, with an emphasis on creating a safe space for recovery.
My passion is working with people to understand their symptoms and how these relate to their experiences. In essence, I work with people to understand the ‘root cause’ and then, collaboratively, a therapeutic plan is developed with an emphasis on reducing and resolving day-to-day difficulties.
Background
With over 10 years’ experience across children’s services, mental health, and staff training, I have developed a grounded, practical, and compassionate approach. I have worked within inpatient units and acute multidisciplinary teams, engaging with clients experiencing a wide range of mental health conditions and those impacted by complex trauma.
My therapeutic experience includes specialised work in sexual assault and family violence services. I provide EMDR and CBT to adults recovering from trauma-related experiences and a range of mental health presentations, including anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and the impacts of prolonged stress.
In addition to clinical work, I also provide consultation and supervision services.
Services
Trauma-focused psychotherapy specialising in EMDR and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), all via secure video sessions.
Telehealth is a way to access professional therapy remotely via secure video sessions. It allows you to attend appointments from the comfort of your own home, using a computer, tablet, or smartphone, while still receiving the same high-quality care as in-person sessions.
Quality Provision
I use Halaxy, an Australian health platform designed for both practitioners and clients. Halaxy provides a safe, encrypted space for Telehealth sessions, scheduling, and health records, ensuring your information remains private and protected.

Therapy Approach
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps the brain process distressing or “stuck” experiences. It can reduce strong emotional or physical reactions linked to past trauma, easing symptoms such as hypervigilance, nightmares, avoidance, and overwhelm. EMDR also allows you to process trauma without needing to share details, making it a gentle and effective option for many clients.
I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. CBT provides tools for managing anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms by shifting unhelpful patterns.
