Hi, I’m Hannah Wild, a BACP registered counsellor based in Ramsgate, offering professional talking therapy for adults across Thanet, including Margate and Broadstairs.

I thought my first blog would be a little introduction to who I am and what you can expect if you choose to work with me.

The Importance of the Therapeutic Relationship

When it comes to counselling or talking therapy, the most important part isn’t a specific technique or psychological tool, it’s the relationship between the client and the counsellor. Research consistently shows that this relationship is what makes therapy most effective.

That’s why getting to know me (or whoever you’re considering as your therapist) is such an important step.

A Bit About Me and My Approach

I’m calm, warm, empathetic and non-judgmental. I don’t use jargon instead, we’ll talk as equals.

When people ask me, “What does counselling actually do?” I often describe it as being like a torch to help you find your way through a dark forest, or untangling a big ball of knotted thread. Together, we make sense of what feels overwhelming, one step at a time.

My counselling approach is person-centred at its foundation, with a psychodynamic focus.

In simple terms, that means you are at the heart of our work together, you’re the expert of your own life. My role is to offer a safe, compassionate, and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely, without judgement.

Alongside that, I also help you look at how past experiences and early relationships might be influencing how you feel, think, and relate to others today. Sometimes the patterns we form early in life continue to shape our lives in ways we don’t always notice. Therapy can help bring these into awareness and create room for change.

Accessible Counselling Services in Ramsgate, Margate, Broadstairs and Across Thanet

Whether you’re based in Ramsgate, Margate, Broadstairs, or elsewhere in Thanet, I offer flexible online and in-person counselling sessions. My aim is to make professional therapy accessible, welcoming, and truly supportive - a confidential space where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and move toward positive change. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
