Hanli Schmidt
Women's Mental Health

I am based in Cambridge and offer online counselling sessions via Zoom and other online platforms. I take a holistic approach to therapy, which means I look at the whole person and consider the connection between the mind, body, emotions, and life experiences in order to understand what may be contributing to your current challenges.

I hold a qualification in Coaching and a Level 3 CPCAB qualification in Counselling Studies. I have several years of experience supporting both men and women through a wide range of emotional and personal difficulties. I have worked with clients who have experienced childhood abuse and neglect, sexual abuse, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, the loss of a parent early in life, parental abandonment, childhood trauma, relationship breakdowns, infidelity, and unhealthy relationship dynamics.

I can support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD and Complex PTSD symptoms, low self-esteem, low self-awareness, difficulties with boundaries, people-pleasing behaviours, attachment issues, abandonment fears, and challenges related to finding their voice, identity, and direction in life.

I take a gently directive approach in my work; however, I believe that each person already holds the inner capacity and insight needed for growth and healing. My role is to support you in exploring your experiences, gaining greater self-understanding, and helping you find the path forward that feels right for you.

At present, I am unable to offer specialist support for the following conditions or areas: ADHD/ADD, autism spectrum conditions, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), auditory hallucinations, hoarding disorder, hypomania or mania, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), paranoia, psychosis, phobias, or addictions. If you are seeking support for any of these areas, I would encourage you to contact a therapist or specialist service with appropriate expertise in these fields.

I offer a FREE consultation.

Follow on sessions are charged at £50 per 50-minute session.

I offer discounted rates for students and those on lower income.

PROUDLY RATED AS A 5 STAR PROFESSIONAL

Re-establishing Balance

In order to heal, grow, and move forward in life, it can be important to explore several key areas of your wellbeing and personal experience. These areas are deeply connected and can often influence how we think, feel, relate to others, and experience the world around us.

Self-Esteem - How do you view and value yourself? Do you recognise your worth, strengths, and needs?
Self-Awareness - Are you connected to your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours? Do you understand who you are at your core and what your authentic self looks like?
Relationships - Are your relationships supportive, healthy, and fulfilling? Do you feel emotionally safe, respected, and able to communicate your needs?
Childhood - Our early experiences can shape the way we see ourselves and others. What were your relationships with parents, siblings, and peers like growing up? Were there difficult or traumatic experiences that may still be affecting you today? Did you feel safe, supported, and connected within your environment and community?
Environment - Your surroundings can have a significant impact on your wellbeing. Does your home, workplace, or wider environment support your emotional health, or does it contribute to stress and overwhelm?
Nutrition & Movement - Emotional wellbeing is closely connected to physical wellbeing. Are you nourishing your body, caring for your health, and engaging in movement in ways that support your mental and emotional balance?
Presence - Anxiety often pulls us into fear about the future, while depression can keep us trapped in the pain of the past. Learning how to become more present and grounded in the current moment can be an important part of healing and finding greater peace within yourself.

More about me

Let me share a little about myself. I moved to the UK on my own at the age of 18 and had to navigate many important life experiences independently during a very sensitive time in my life. Like many people, I faced a number of challenges along the way, including physical and emotional abuse, the loss of my first child, divorce, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma-related issues, emotional dysregulation, and attachment difficulties.

Over time, I learned not to let these experiences define me, but instead to use them as stepping stones towards greater strength, resilience, self-awareness, and genuine joy. My personal journey has given me deep compassion and understanding for the complexities of emotional pain, healing, and personal growth.

I am passionate about emotional and physical wellbeing and enjoy living a healthy lifestyle, spending time outdoors, and supporting others in their healing journeys. I genuinely care about the people I work with and strive to create a safe, warm, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.

When you meet with me, you will be welcomed by someone who is patient, compassionate, and committed to understanding you as a whole person, so that together we can help you move towards healing, balance, and the life you want for yourself.

Client Testimonials

At first when I met her I had self esteem issues, I was really unhappy and I also used food as a comfort; binge eating and feeling remorseful and guilty afterwards. After starting a journey with her, my life started changing, I recovered my self esteem, got my energy back to start projects that fulfilled my life, started taking an active role in my life to create the life I truly wanted. Today, I’m so grateful to say I no longer binge eat, I don’t feel urges to satisfy myself with food as I’m truly satisfied with what I have created in my life so far, and the journey is still long ahead. Talking with Hanli has made me feel empowered and stronger than ever. Has helped me changed limiting beliefs that used to hold me back to positive thoughts and a positive mindset that make me know that I can achieve anything in life with a good strategy, resilience, hard work and patience. I’m so grateful I can count with Hanli’s support, I would highly recommend her services to anyone that needs to change or improve in any way.

R Jean, United Kingdom

Looking at my life I knew I needed help, the 6 week course of counselling with my GP achieved nothing. I tried a couple of private councillors unfortunately I didn't feel any better. I came across Hanli and discovered that it wasn't just a case of talking it was about looking at my life as a whole including my diet. Can't thank Hanli enough, I really feel that there is light at the end of the tunnel and my family relationships are now something I treasure. Thank you so much Hanli you have helped me to get my life back on track.
