Hannah Elliott

Psychosexual & Relationship Psychotherapist - MBACP/ COSRT / NICP/ MA

Welcome, I am Hannah, a Psychosexual and Relationship therapist with over a decade of experience supporting women through life’s transitions.

I believe getting in touch with who you are and what is really going on beneath the surface, is where true change happens. At first this can be a daunting conversation to have, especially if you are used to bottling it up inside and keeping busy. I offer a warm and confidential space where we work at a pace which suits you and where you can feel comfortable sharing your story.

I have an extensive background in psychosomatic therapies (the mind-body connection). It was through my own challenges that I developed a special interest in sexual wellbeing and the relationship with the body.

Whether you’re navigating mysterious illness symptoms, intimacy issues, peri/ menopause, fertility challenges, sadness, loneliness, identity loss or something that feels harder to explain, I will offer a safe space for you to reconnect with yourself again.

Approach:

My approach blends traditional talk therapy with an exploration of introspection and befriending of the nervous system to understand what is going on physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.

The aim is to gain a better emotional stability and overall wellbeing in the relationship with yourself and others, by addressing out-dated patterns and beliefs that might be hindering behaviours or biology, when it comes to connection.

If you would like to find out more, please get in touch as I am always happy to have a short, no-obligation chat to help you decide if working with me is the right choice.

* Painful sex
