Rooted Therapy, Leeds

A calm space to grow. Time to make sense of what's going on, without judgement, at a pace that suits you.

Hannah Ellery, counsellor

Hi, I'm Hannah.

I've been a counsellor for ten years, and before that I spent eight years teaching in secondary schools, so I know how easily stress and self-doubt can build up when life is busy.

My work is warm, down to earth and collaborative. You won't be analysed from a distance: we'll work it out together.

  • Practical when you need it. Tools for anxiety and low mood you can use between sessions.
  • Tailored to you. The approach fits you, not the other way round.
