Meet Hannah Steyaert
M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
Hannah offers a curious, empathetic space where teens, young adults, adults, couples and families can speak openly and begin making sense of what has been difficult.
Her work is primarily psychodynamic, helping you understand how earlier experiences, emotions and relationship patterns may still influence the way you feel and respond today. The goal is not to analyze the past for its own sake, but to develop greater awareness and more choice moving forward.
Sessions move at a manageable pace and are shaped around the concerns most relevant to your life now. You do not need a diagnosis, a complete explanation or certainty about which type of therapy you need before beginning.
Therapy with Hannah may be a good fit if you want to:
- Understand recurring emotional or relationship patterns
- Make sense of anxiety, stress, low mood or emotional overwhelm
- Express emotions, needs and boundaries more confidently
- Explore how earlier experiences may be affecting life now
- Strengthen communication and connection within a relationship or family
A free consultation gives you time to ask questions and decide whether Hannah’s experience and approach feel right for you.

What to expect
What therapy can look like
There is no one-size-fits-all formula for therapy. Sessions follow your pace, but the work often develops through a few connected stages as you gain clarity about what is happening and what you would like to change.
01
Start with what’s going on now
Begin with the concern that feels most important, whether that is anxiety, relationship stress, low mood, family conflict, or simply feeling stuck. Hannah will also ask what you hope might feel different.
02
Understand patterns and responses
Notice connections between your emotions, thoughts, relationships and reactions. You may explore where certain patterns began and why they continue to appear, without judgment or pressure to move faster than feels manageable.
03
Build awareness and move forward
Use what you are learning to respond with more choice, communicate more clearly and make changes that feel meaningful in everyday life. Progress is reviewed together, and the focus can shift as your needs change.
The process is collaborative. You can ask questions, share feedback and revisit what you want from therapy at any point.
How Hannah works
Understanding patterns, not just managing symptoms
Hannah primarily uses psychodynamic therapy. This means looking beyond the immediate problem to understand the emotions, experiences and relationship patterns that may still be influencing how you feel and respond today.
Psychodynamic Therapy · Attachment-Based Therapy · Cognitive Behavioural Therapy · Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
When useful, sessions may also be informed by attachment-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These approaches can help connect insight with practical changes in your relationships and everyday life.
If you are specifically looking for DBT, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) or another structured modality, mention it during your consultation so the practice can confirm the most appropriate therapist and service.
Areas of support
Support for the concerns affecting everyday life
People seek counselling for many reasons. Hannah works with teens, adults, couples and families experiencing emotional, relational and day-to-day challenges, including the concerns below.
Anxiety, worry and overthinking
Anxiety therapy in London can help you understand persistent worry, racing thoughts, fear and patterns of avoidance while developing steadier ways to respond.
Depression and feeling stuck
Depression counselling offers space to explore low mood, disconnection, loss of motivation and the experiences that may be keeping you stuck.
Stress, burnout and emotional overwhelm
Therapy can help when stress and burnout from work, caregiving, school or ongoing pressure leave you exhausted, irritable or unable to switch off.
Relationship and family concerns
Explore recurring conflict, communication difficulties, boundaries and relationship patterns through individual, couples or family therapy.
Life transitions, identity and self-esteem
Find support through changes in relationships, work, school, family roles or identity while building confidence and a clearer sense of self.
Earlier experiences and emotional expression
Understand how earlier experiences may influence current emotions, coping responses and relationships, and find safer ways to express what you need.
You do not need to have the right label for what you are experiencing before reaching out. Therapy can begin with whatever feels most important right now.
