DR HANNAH CARR
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE
As a Clinical Psychologist I enjoy supporting people to make sense of their experiences and work towards personal and inter-personal growth.
I understand that the basis of any effective therapy begins with a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. This starts with a non-judgemental space based upon respect, collaboration and empathy.
My approach involves building a joint understanding of someone’s distress or difficulties to explore what the causes and maintaining factors may be. I draw upon evidence based therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy, compassion focussed therapy, dialectical behavioural therapies, as well as narrative and systemic models. I work in an integrative manner to provide personalised approaches to therapy that meet people’s specific needs and goals.
I have experience working with people with a wide range of mental health difficulties and neurodiversity. In my NHS role I work with people individually and with families to support their recovery from trauma, and to find meaning and fulfilment in their life.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR THERAPISTS
We carry out rigorous checks and vet all our therapists before they join the team. They must meet with our high standards of professional specification which includes:
-
- Degree-qualified to Masters or PHD (doctorate) level for clinical psychologists
- Full indemnity insurance
- DBS criminal record clearance
This means that the mental health professional you see will be qualified, experienced and competent.
We are a private mental health clinic and have a number of therapists with different specialities. Because of this, we can offer therapies to help with a wide range of mental health issues from Anxiety to PTSD and child psychology.
Accreditation to the relevant professional body:
- Clinical psychologists are Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered
- CBT therapists are British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) accredited
- Counsellors are British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accredited
First, we carry out a triage step during a 15-minute free initial telephone consultation. Depending on the challenges you’re facing, we will then recommend a counsellor, CBT therapist or clinical psychologist.
We also have clinic locations throughout the North, so there is usually one not too far from you.
As a result, we can usually offer an appointment quickly and at a time and place convenient for you. But, above all, tailored to your needs.
