Sarah Hannah
BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist
EMDR Accredited Practitioner
IPT Accredited Practitioner
I wish to offer a confidential space for you to feel heard and supported, whilst supporting you to develop new skills that will allow you to improve your wellbeing. I am compassionate and empathetic, my approach is warm and friendly.
I have a particular interest in supporting people who have long term health conditions, and a great deal of expertise in this area. I also have training and knowledge in working with complex trauma and other common problems such as Depression and Anxiety.
My Experience
I am an enthusiastic and experienced therapist, having worked within NHS Talking therapies services for 19 years. This has allowed me the chance to work with patients from a variety of backgrounds and ages. I have developed my skills over this time, allowing me opportunity to treat both common and complex mental health disorders using a number of therapies; including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Eye movement desensitisation therapy (EMDR) and Interpersonal therapy (IPT).
In particular, I have gained a great deal in the work I have done with people living with long term health conditions, understanding the considerable impact that these can have on people’s lives. I enjoy the time that I spend delivering clinical supervision to other practitioners both individually and in a group format.
