Hannah is a highly experienced psychologist who has developed an interest in women's health over the course of her career, after seeing repeatedly the impact that hormonal shifts and life transitions can have on mental health. Knowing the importance of  accurate understanding and recognition of women's difficulties, and appropriate treatment, has inspired her to learn more about this topic and integrate an awareness of hormones on mental health for all the women she works with, and to jointly found Tay Wellbeing.

Hannah has worked with adults with mental health difficulties for over a decade, often working with individuals with severe mental health difficulties and anxiety and trauma related difficulties. She has a particular interest in the impact of the perinatal period, menopause, and cyclical hormone related difficulties such as Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). 

She uses her understanding of hormones, the demands and transition throughout women's lives, and provided psychological therapies to support women with a range of emotional difficulties or distress. Hannah has recently completed training in the EMBERS® Menopause-Informed CBT framework at Menopause CBT Clinic®, equipping her with a tailored approach to supporting women through the menopause transition. She also offers EMDR and is an accredited EMDR practitioner.  

Hannah's therapeutic style is warm and accommodating, with an ability to gently challenge when needed. She is flexible in her approach according to individual needs and adapting and tailoring therapies has been an essential feature of her approach throughout her career. 

Hannah has trained extensively in CBT and ‘third wave therapies'. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness based approaches, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). She also offers EMDR and is an accredited EMDR practitioner and has training in child and parent approaches such as Video Interaction Guidance, and Circle of Security Parenting Approach.
