Hannah Garner
Counsellor in Totnes

If you feel that a gentle, non-judgemental and supportive approach to counselling would suit you then I am happy to offer this in my lovely, calming setting in Totnes.

Holding space for you to work through anything which may be causing you distress is at the core of how I work, but counselling is also about uncovering and celebrating your strengths and moving towards growth.

It is really important to me to bring my own experience and understanding of neurodiversity to my practice, and to provide an affirming space, whether you may have a formal diagnosis, are waiting for assessment, or are self-diagnosed.

Background & Counselling Qualifications

I have a first class Honours Degree, which is made up of levels 4 and 5 Psychology and Counselling Skills, and level 6 Social and Therapeutic Interventions.

I am currently completing my BPS accreditation with a Masters degree in Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing.

My Specialisms

My training includes working with anxiety and depression. I understand the role of trauma and the stress response, and I feel that its really important to notice how this can show up in many aspects of life. I also support people who may be experiencing grief, whether recent or historic.

I have experience in working with autism and ADHD, as well as with those who consider themselves to be highly sensitive people.

I am able to offer Walk and Talk therapy, where the outdoor space can provide a calming and non-direct environment. Some people may find this an easier way to have counselling.

Approach to Counselling & How I Work

My approach is person-centred. As everyone is unique I aim to draw on approaches which I feel are beneficial as we get to know each other, such as art therapy techniques or cognitive behavioural therapy.

To make counselling more accessible I offer face to face sessions but also telephone or online sessions, or a mixture of these if needed.
