Hannah Dalton

I am available week days and week day evenings. I will be as flexible as I can.

How can I help you? This would be the first thing I would want to know.

I would like to understand what you are expecting from therapy and what you are hoping to achieve and work with you to meet your expectations.

I will help you work through your concerns and issues in a trusted and open way.

The first session would be about connecting, understanding and starting the process of buiding trust. I will listen and not judge, helping you to process what issues you wanted to bring to our safe space.

There would be reviews of our sessions and reflection on what has been gained from this time togother. 

I am a qualified and experienced and have worked with lots of clients This gives me the experience and understanding of lots of people. Saying this, I don't treat everyone the same. I see the person who walks into my room. Who takes that step and wants to get help with their worries I won't judge, I'm opened minded and have worked with many different client groups. I will sit with you and listen. I will do my best to help you sort out what going on for you and help you unravel whats worrying you and bringing you here. I don't have the answers for you, I don't know you. But together as we build trust and an understanding between us, I might see things with fresh eyes and help you find the peace and space you need to do the same.

I practice Person Centred, Humanistic Counselling as well as CBT and Mindfulness. I specialise and have experience with anxiety and bereavement amongst other things.

I have over 10 years’ experience counselling clients. This includes working with adults and young people in private practice. I work with and have worked for: JustB and Talking Spaces at St. Michael's Hospice, NHS staff support helpline, YMCA and Mind. I also have several years experience working with people with mental health issues including PTSD, Depression, stress and anxiety.

I am 45 minutes outside Harrogate and Ripon, in the Nidderdale. The drive itself is therapeutic, beautiful and calming.

I am professional, discreet and open minded. I offer short and long term counselling in a relaxed and comfortable space.

Having a 10-15 call before our first session  would hopefully help you decide if we can work together. Followed by a first session. This is be a good way of helping you know if you will feel safe and able to talk with me openly. 

I would encourage you to pick the right therapist and hopefully after the call and first session you will start to recognise the signs that we can develop a trusted reltionship together. 

During the first session we will work through a contract and what we expect from each other, ie how regular are the sessions. where and when are these sessions.
