Hanna Bohrisch

I offer a safe and welcoming space where you can simply be yourself, somewhere to pause, breathe and grow. Counselling is about walking alongside you as you discover your own strength, potential and way forward.

When life seems to be too much, when you feel stuck in self-doubt, low self-esteem and anxiety, counselling can support you to find your own way forward. I offer a space where you can simply be yourself, breathe and grow.

I believe that every person is doing their best with what they’ve got, and that we all carry the potential to live more fully and freely. Sometimes, we just need the right kind of support to reconnect with that inner strength. That’s where counselling can help.

Where and how I work

I offer face-to-face sessions in Ealing, just opposite Ealing Broadway Station—a convenient and comfortable space to talk in person.

I also offer Walk and Talk Therapy in Lammas and Walpole Park. Rather than sitting indoors, we walk side by side while you explore whatever’s on your mind. You set the pace, choose when to stop and sit, and decide how much to engage with the natural surroundings. This approach combines the benefits of movement, fresh air, and therapeutic conversation. I’m also a certified Forest Therapy Practitioner, and I value nature as a powerful support in mental and emotional well-being. (Even the NHS recommends walking for your mental health!)

If you're not local, you can also work with me online from anywhere in the UK and Europe.

My experience

I’ve been working with clients since 2017 and have supported people from many different walks of life. From 2018 to 2021, I worked with an organisation focused on supporting survivors of domestic abuse—an experience that deepened my understanding of trauma, resilience, and recovery.

I regularly take part in ongoing professional development to ensure that my work remains effective, informed, and compassionate.

Finding the right therapist matters.

My journey into therapy began with my own experience as a client. Being truly heard was deeply transformative. I learned to ask for help and discovered that with understanding and self-compassion, not only could I change, but my relationships and surroundings changed too.

That’s why I know how important it is to feel a genuine connection with your therapist.

You might be wondering how to know if I’m the right fit for you. I offer a free initial phone call, giving you a chance to get a sense of how I work and whether you feel comfortable talking with me. It’s also a time for me to reflect on whether I’m the right person to support you with what you're going through.

If we decide to begin working together, we’ll have regular check-ins to make sure our sessions are helpful and aligned with your needs. Our first review will usually happen in the sixth session, giving you the space to reflect on how therapy is going and whether you're getting what you need from it.

For in-person sessions I currently have availability on Mondays at 4pm, on Tuesdays at 4pm and 6pm, on Thursdays at 9am and 2pm.

For online counselling I currently have availability on Wednesday evenings.

Sometimes life feels overwhelming. You might feel stuck, isolated, or like you no longer recognise yourself. Maybe you’re navigating imposter syndrome, low self-esteem, or just trying to make sense of things that feel too heavy to carry alone. Therapy can help you understand how past experiences are shaping your present, and support you in reclaiming your sense of self and potential.

I practice a hopeful and empowering approach where the client takes the lead in the counselling journey. Your agenda guides our sessions, allowing you to address the issues that matter most to you.

How I work

In our sessions, we’ll build a genuine, respectful connection where you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, to understand your world with empathy and care, and to support you without judgment.

I believe everyone holds the capacity for self-awareness, healing, and positive change. Our work will focus on your strengths, challenges, and goals helping you find clarity and uncover your own solutions.

My experience

I came to this work through my own experience of therapy. Being truly listened to, believed, accepted, and supported, was life-changing. It taught me how to ask for help and showed me how self-compassion could transform not only my inner world, but also my relationships and environment.

I’ve been working with clients since 2017, supporting people from many walks of life. From 2018 to 2021, I worked with an organisation that supports survivors of domestic abuse, which deepened my understanding of trauma, resilience, and recovery.

I’m committed to providing therapy that is thoughtful, effective, and compassionate. I regularly engage in ongoing professional development to ensure I continue growing as a practitioner and bringing the best possible support to the people I work with.
