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 of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
I have experience working with clients aged from 10 years old +, addressing a range of issues. As a fully qualified counsellor, I offer personalised therapy sessions tailored to your needs. I will support you in your journey by creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore challenges, build resilience and move towards healing and growth.
With lived experience as both a parent and partner to neurodivergent individuals, I bring personal insight and a neuro-affirming perspective to all aspects of my work. I'm dedicated to creating a space where LGBTQIA+ individuals feel seen, valued and empowered to live authentically and thrive.
