Hannah Franklin

Professional Profile

Hi I'm Hannah,

I'm an accredited CBT, Counsellor, EMDR and Animal Assisted Therapist, with over 15 years experience working in mental health in the NHS and Private sector as well as through Crisis Services, Education and Youth Offending.

I work online, but am also based in the stunning Tamar Valley where you are welcome to have my therapy dog, Weasel, join our session as we sit in the therapy hub, or walk and talk whilst taking in the beautiful surroundings. 

Therapy is a safe space to explore the subjects that matter to you. Nothing is taboo, 'off limits', or hasn't been heard before within the space. Many people find relief and a decrease in shame and embarrassment after realising that what they are experiencing is normal!

My role is to walk alongside you, listening without judgement and allowing you space to express, explore and process. 

Our work together is based on the principle that 'awareness offers us choice which allows us to change'. By building awareness of the difficulties you are facing and what is keeping them going, you are able to break them into smaller, more manageable chunks and make changes to allow you to have more resilience and improve your quality of life

I will help you to make sense of what is troubling you, to reflect, to help bring awareness to alternative perspectives or behaviours, to bring distance to thoughts and emotions, or simply just to sit and listen holding hope and compassion for you until you are ready to hold this for yourself.

I abide by the policies and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity to work as a therapist in the UK.
