Hannah Barducci
Counsellor in Faringdon

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unable to move on from a difficult experience? If you're finding it hard to cope or feel stuck in repeating patterns, I can help. I offer a confidential and caring counselling service dedicated to helping you make sense of life, find meaning, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and compassionate—I want you to feel safe and comfortable from the moment we begin. We can work together to help you navigate your current challenges, understand yourself better, and find new ways to move forward. I'll be by your side as you reflect on your situation and work toward feeling unburdened and ready to live your own way.

How I Can Help

I work with adults, teenagers, and children on whatever is troubling them. We can explore a wide range of issues, including:

ADHD Specialism: As an ADHD specialist, I provide a compassionate space to help you navigate the unique challenges of ADHD, offering strategies and understanding to manage its impact on your life and relationships.
Emotional Well-being: Anxiety, depression, feeling unable to cope, feeling on edge, or struggling with sleep.
Life Transitions & Trauma: Going through a difficult change, feeling stuck in a rut, or finding it hard to move on from a difficult or traumatic experience.
Relationships & Loss: Relationship problems, repeating patterns, or dealing with bereavement.

I also use psychoeducation in our sessions to help you understand what's happening in your mind and body, empowering you to make sense of your experiences.

My rooms are based in Faringdon, within easy reach of Oxford, Witney, Abingdon, and Swindon.

Approach to Counselling & How I Work

My approach to counselling is integrative, which means I adapt my methods to what works best for you. We can explore various techniques, from cognitive behavioural therapy to a person-centred approach, to help you in your journey of self-exploration. I sometimes use creative therapy (like stonework or imagery) or after-session tasks to support your work. I am also a trained Drawing and Talking practitioner, an experiential therapy that can be a powerful tool for those who have experienced trauma.

Over my career, I've provided counselling in a range of settings, including schools, youth agencies, counselling charities, and my private practice. This has given me extensive experience working with a wide range of ages, from children and young people to adults. I also have specific expertise working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and ASD.
