LUISA HANNAN

I believe that offering a safe, welcoming space and building a collaborative working relationship with people is essential in psychotherapy. I am interested in working alongside people to explore their individual concerns, connect with what is important to them and implement change that is meaningful.

​

For the past 30 years, I have worked as a psychotherapist with people who are impacted by trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and other issues that affect mental health and well-being.

​

My approach to my psychotherapy work is strongly influenced by Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
