About Me

Hannah Diamond - First Class BSc (Hons) in Gestalt Counselling

I am a qualified Gestalt counsellor who offers a confidential, safe, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your feelings and emotions about any difficulties you are experiencing in your life. I am passionate about helping people and empowering them to grow and develop to their full potential.

I understand that life can be difficult; we can all feel overwhelmed at times and in need of support. I have faced and overcome difficulties in the past. My life experiences have not only shaped me as a person but have also helped me to develop a better understanding of the issues my clients are facing.

I work with adults and young people from the age of 11 and also have experience working with neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, and people from different cultures. I have helped people with a range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, stress, and low self-esteem. 

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and follow its ethical framework to ensure that I work in an ethical, professional and safe way. I am also a member of the Hampshire Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (HACP).

I am an Autism Ambassador for Hampshire and Isle of Wight. Being an ambassador provides the opportunity to make a difference to people living with autism by raising awareness and understanding of autism and enabling autistic people to have a voice.
