“You seem happier”🍃

*whilst people might seemingly appear happier on the outside, it isn’t always an accurate reflection as to what is happening on the inside. That being said, being boundaried and working hard on self-awareness and resilience can be incredibly freeing*🍃

Human first, therapist second🌱

I’m currently in the midst of navigating a personal family bereavement, and it got me thinking about how I still show up for my clients whilst managing my own ‘stuff’.

🕊️ I’m prioritising integrity over perfection. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t have my sh*t together 100% of the time (because who does), and times like this makes everything slow down as we stop to reflect. Even during this difficult time, I’m still showing up for my clients with honesty, care and transparency.

This has meant appropriate self-disclosure, as I had to cancel and reschedule some client sessions. Initially I was filled with guilt, because I didn’t want to let my clients down, but the therapeutic relationship is built on mutual respect and trust, and I owe it to my clients to let them know when I’m not on top form.

I didn’t over share, and I was mindful about how this might impact my clients (for example, clients that have a history of people pleasing or rescuing might have felt responsible for my emotions, when that isn’t their place).

I named it, owned it, and was incredibly grateful for the understanding and compassion I received as a result of this.

❤️‍🩹 I ensure I have adequate support in place, so ‘my stuff’ doesn’t enter the therapy room, but I would be silly to think there wouldn’t be any additional dynamics or transference I needed to be aware of.

💭 I continuously check in with myself at the moment as it’s my responsibility to ensure I can safely hold a space for my clients, but I’m also human, and if I wasn’t up front about my bereavement, my clients more than likely would have picked up on it anyways (I mean you become quite good at compartmentalising as a therapist, but some days are bloody hard!)

So I hope this post translates that your therapist is human too, with their own lives, difficulties and experiences, and whilst we are professionals, we still have a duty to honour our client relationships for what they are…

Hannah Beech Psychotherapy - new brand colours!

I’ll be honest when I started this page, it was very much on a whim, with all the best intentions, lots of motivation, but also lots of pressure.

🌱 Pressure to provide meaningful, educational content
🌱 Pressure to maintain ethical practice
🌱 Pressure to show up as much as possible

I’ve been reflecting on what I want the purpose of this account to be, and what I want it to reflect.

For me, as I work relationally with clients, I always endeavour to show up as my most authentic self in sessions, but was struggling to do that on here. Maybe fear of judgement or ‘getting it right’ coming into play.

So I’m going to be taking some time to consider what I want to share on here, and being all of me to the table.

Thank you all for being here 🫶🏼

Welcome to my page 🌱

I unintentionally took a hiatus from this page, but since revamping my website, I thought I should take a second to say hello, again! 👋🏼

My name is Hannah and I’m an Integrative, Relational, Trauma-Informed, Attachment therapist based in the UK (wow that’s a mouthful).

I work with clients in their late 20’s to 40’s around topics of attachment, relationships, trauma and emotion regulation.

I show up as my most authentic, imperfect self, hoping I can encourage you to do the same 🫶🏼

Head over to my website to find out more about how we can work together!

HB Psychotherapy is 2️⃣ years old today 🥹🎉

I’ll be honest, I had no idea what I was doing when I decided to open my practice two years ago (and submitting my first tax return nearly sent me over the edge as anyone who knows me will know maths isn’t my strong point😅), so reflecting on how far I’ve come makes me feel v proud of myself 🥹

I have had the pleasure of working with some incredible clients past and present, and I’m forever grateful to be a part of people’s journey.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my little business, and I cannot wait to work with many more of you in the future🌿💭✨

✨COMING SOON✨

I’m really excited to announce I will soon be offering face to face therapy sessions for anyone in and around East Riding of Yorkshire!

I’m very fortunate to have moved house (again haha) recently where I can have a dedicated therapy space for anyone that prefers the comfort of having a physical presence during therapy.

Since the pandemic, people have been able to access therapy virtually, which improves accessibility, flexibility and availability of sessions, but there’s just something about face to face therapy which I have really missed 🥹

As I will be offering therapy from my home, I won’t be sharing the exact address online, but I will be in driving distance for anyone in and around areas such as York, Malton, Driffield, Beverley and the surrounding towns.

Why I would rather adjust my life to someone’s absence, rather than compromising my boundaries👇🏼

This one is for you if you tend to:
✨People please
✨Rely on external validation or reassurance
✨Put other people’s needs before your own
✨Sacrifice your needs in relationships, maybe due to fear of abandonment or rejection, or being alone
✨Struggle with boundaries
✨Want to avoid conflict at all costs (remember conflict is inevitable, however doesn’t have to be combative)

Boundaries are not meant to be punitive, they’re protective.

Boundaries in relationships might look like:

“I won’t be able to continue this conversation if you speak with that tone”

“If we disagree, I’d like us to talk about it respectfully rather than raising our voices”

“I love spending time with you, however I’ve already made plans to see my friends this weekend which is important to me”

“I’m not ready to talk about X yet, can we talk about something else?”

I have some availability left for anyone that wants to work on their anxious attachment, relationships, self esteem, trauma or boundary setting🫶🏼✨

This is why I do what I do for a living🫶🏼✨

One of my longest clients has come to an end of their therapy journey for now. As I’ve said before, I am incredibly thankful for being even a small part of my clients lives and stories.

This client has overcome so many obstacles since we began working together, from challenging and unhealthy relational dynamics, setting boundaries, understanding and communicating their needs effectively, and working towards living more authentically and true to themselves.

I will always be forever grateful for the time we spent working together, but at the same time filled with pride and admiration✨

HB Psychotherapy turned 1️⃣ this month! 🥹🎉🥳

I completely forgot that my private practice turned 1 this month!🥹✨

I am incredibly grateful to all of my clients past and present for placing their trust in me, and I am very thankful that I have the opportunity to make even a small difference to people’s lives.

Owning my own practice was a dream of mine a decade ago, so for my business to be successful and turning 1 is surreal✨

POV: If you’re looking for a therapist that gently challenges you and brings things into your awareness rather than simply listening 💭✨

This is by no means to suggest that person-centred therapists don’t engage with you during sessions (I’m trained in person-centred therapy myself!), however the model typically aims to avoid direct challenging and focuses more on a non-directive approach categorised by empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence.

Being an integrative therapist, I ask the difficult questions, gently challenge you and reflect back to raise your awareness around things that may be unconscious to you 💭

I’ve used these questions and statements in therapy to:

💛Address relational dynamics and patterns
💛Encourage self-reflection
💛Explore and identify emotions
💛Encourage self-expression and build self-trust

If you’re looking for a therapist who listens attentively with the aim of understanding you, and also offers insights and alternative perspectives, enquire to see what it would be like for us to work together🫶🏼

Like for a part 2!

Some of the things I find hard as a therapist with an anxious attachment 💭

I have done so much work on my attachment style, that I would say I feel the most secure I ever have, however my attachment still shows up A LOT in my practice, which I’m working on…

I worry about being rejected
I worry about being abandoned by clients
I worry that I am not enough for my clients

Being a therapist takes a lot of emotional energy, so I have to be resilient enough to know that being rejected by future or current clients isn’t all about me, my worth or my abilities.

It’s fu*king hard at times, and I’ll be brutally transparent here and say I have cried when clients have told me they no longer want to work with me, or when I haven’t had a new enquiry in two months. I’ve also felt like I’m not cut out for this line of work or running a business because I’m not resilient enough.

We’re all just out here trying to be the best version of ourselves, me included, and I am now very aware about how much attachment style can show up in a professional capacity (because clearly just impacting my personal relationships isn’t enough haha).

Our attachment style can impede on so many areas of our life, so if you are interested in working with me to find out how I overcome attachment difficulties, send me an email 📧 ✨
