Hannah Bradley-Beck

After a career in the theatre and community arts, during the pandemic I made the decision to retrain as a counsellor. A move that has brought me so much joy and inspiration.

I fell in love with counselling after completing my COSCA certificate in skills and this only grew with each course I completed. After a year at The University of Edinburgh on their Masters program, I qualified in 2023 with an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Strathclyde. I am a registered member of BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and adhere to the ethical guidelines which help ensure professional and ethical commitment to clients and good practice.

At the core of my practice is the Person-centered modality, it’s my belief that seeing someone’s experience from their unique point of view is key to helping someone process what’s happening to them.

Counselling offers us a space that is just ours to be met without judgement or assumption. This can offer bereaved families the chance to talk about their baby without worry of how this will be held by others. I aim to offer families a warm and compassionate space to help families remember their baby while navigating their loss. Grief never leaves us fully but with time and support we can grow around our grief and continue through life holding those we love and have lost.

I feel so privileged to be a part of the Held In Our Hearts team, an organization with such love and passion for their staff, families and wider community.
