I help people ease stress and anxiety, lift their mood or just get more enjoyment out of life – because that’s what we all want, isn’t it?
I’m qualified in both low intensity cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. In my work I also draw on compassion-focused therapy and behavioural science to create the easiest and kindest routes to make a change.
In-person and online group sessions equip you with the tools and know-how to improve your wellbeing, all whilst feeling part of a supportive, like-minded group.
One-off ‘lunch and learn’ workshops or regular wellbeing sessions help create healthier workplaces by reducing work-related stress, building resilience and strengthening connection amongst the team.
“I first came in contact with Hanna Bilko after I got divorced and was struggling with increasing levels of anxiety about my living situation, loneliness, low mood which had led me to become very depressed. At that stage I felt unable to cope with day-to-day life. I had trouble focusing on work. I was at a very low point and I felt my life was meaningless. Working with Hanna, has helped me to return to an even keel and gain a fresh perspective on my life. The process we undertook has given me the tools to approach adversity and deal with the ups and downs that life throws up. Although ostensibly my life has not changed in any material sense, I am now able to enjoy the opportunities I have and face the adversities that come along. Hanna was a calm and supportive presence in my life enabling me to move on from a period of difficulty. Hanna helped me to understand my thought process and the impact it was having. Hanna provided me with the techniques to challenge the negative thoughts and learn more helpful ways of thinking. Through our work together I have been able to bring balance and control to my life. Although negative thoughts can flare up at any time I now feel confident that I have the tools and mental strength to manage my emotions. Hanna was highly dedicated and had a genuine commitment and interest in helping me to find solutions. I’d recommend therapy to anyone who feels they’re struggling – and the truth is we all do struggle in some way. I used to believe having therapy was a sign of weakness. Now I think it’s just sensible. It keeps things running smoothly so that when life gets tough you can cope and when life is good you can enjoy it fully.” – Nikita, 1:1 therapy
“As we settle into the rhythm of remote working, it has been more difficult to switch off and take time to relax outside of the increasing workload. Hanna’s sessions have given me the opportunity to have brilliant moments of peace and reflection at the start of the week, as well as a great opportunity to bond with colleagues over topics we may not otherwise get the opportunity to discuss. Hanna’s sessions and her facilitation of such moments have been the highlight of my week which I find myself looking forward to. It’s been great to see a great variety of people join to try it out and I can only hope that we continue to have the opportunity for others to discover and enjoy the same.” – Jessie, Workplace Wellbeing at CybSafe
“These weekly sessions have not only helped me create space for myself before the craziness of the working day kicks off, but also instigated a resurgence in my spiritual exploration. The breathing techniques that Hanna shared work incredibly well for stress reduction, which was my main goal when I started these sessions.” – Zoe, Workplace Wellbeing at CybSafe
After suffering from depression, anxiety and insomnia throughout my twenties, in my early thirties, step-by-step, I set out to change things.
A few years down the line, and a lot of study and practice later, my depression, anxiety and insomnia were a thing of the past.
Nowadays, I’m a qualified therapist with a new mission: to help other people change their lives, too.
