ABOUT ME

I’m Hannah Ford, (formerly Hannah Chen) a Registered Health Psychologist based in Queensland, Australia. I am passionate about helping people take charge of their health for themselves and improve their well-being through making worthwhile lifestyle choices. In particular, I enjoy facilitating understanding of unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and working with people to change these patterns. I truly care about my patients and am committed to providing evidence-based treatment that is tailored to each individual.

​

I have worked in a variety of public sector, community and private practice settings and predominantly work with adults. My approach is warm, holistic, strengths-based and trauma-informed. While I am experienced in working with a wide variety of common psychological issues including depression, anxiety, work and relationship difficulties, and stress management, my particular interests lie in working with: 

​

• Grief and loss/bereavement

• Coping with life transitions

• Adjustment to injury, diagnosis, illness

• Chronic disease management

• Self-esteem issues and social anxiety
