Trauma-Informed Yoga, Counselling + Psychotherapy in Newcastle
A compassionate, embodied approach to therapy for trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief, relationships and life transitions. Based in Newcastle, NSW and available Australia-wide via telehealth.
Inner Space is not only for expanding your capacity to hold pain, grief and anger, but also about reconnecting with hope, safety, creativity and joy — your true nature.
All of you is Welcome here.
Therapeutic Yoga & Embodied Psychotherapy
With my training in psychotherapy, counselling, mental health nursing, nervous system work, yoga and meditation teaching, I bring an embodied and integrative approach to the therapy space.
I utilise a holistic approach, integrating parts-work, somatic (body-based) practices, psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness. As a trauma-informed clinician, I work within a non-pathologising model of care. My goal is not to fix you (because you are not broken), but to offer you a safe space to move towards healing.
Outside of teaching yoga and private practice, I also work for the Hunter New England Health District as a Mental Health Clinician. I have experience working with acute mental health presentations, complex trauma and eating disorders.
I offer support with…
Attachment and relationship with self and others
Post traumatic stress and complex trauma
Perfectionism, anxiety and burnout (especially working in healthcare)
Emotional regulation and nervous system support
Grief and loss
Body image and self-esteem
Building routine and changing habits (including addiction)
Spirituality, embodiment and integration
Navigating change and life transitions.
Inner Space is not only for expanding your capacity to hold pain, grief and anger, but also about reconnecting with hope, safety, creativity and joy - your true nature.
Meet Hannah
Hi, I’m Hannah — qualified psychotherapist, counsellor, yoga teacher and creator of Inner Space Yoga + Psychotherapy. I’m based in Newcastle, on Awabakal Country.
Ever since I was young I’ve had an insatiable curiosity to learn about the world and the people around me. I’ve been a student of yoga for over 10 years, and I’m deeply passionate about the intersection of ancient yogic wisdom and modern psychology.
I highly value my rest and leisure, so you’ll often find me reading, connecting with nature, moving my body, and drinking endless cups of tea.
I truly believe that each one of us has an innate capacity to heal, sometimes we need a little help to find the way. Inner Space offers just that — space to reconnect with your most authentic self.
Create space to reconnect with your authentic self.
