About me
My name is Hannah Dyson and I am a fully qualified counsellor based in Woodley, Reading. I am a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I have experience working with clients aged 10 and above, supporting a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. I offer personalised counselling sessions tailored to your individual needs, providing a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore the challenges you are facing.
I will support you on your journey towards greater understanding, helping you to build resilience and move towards healing and personal growth at a pace that feels right for you.
With lived experience as both a parent and partner to neurodivergent individuals, I bring personal insight and a neuro-affirming perspective to my work. I am committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where LGBTQIA+ individuals feel seen, valued, and empowered to live authentically and thrive.
