My name is Hannah Ciepiela and I am a Psychological Coach. I live in Hitchin Hertfordshire with my 3 little and not so little people (one of them can’t even completely fit in this photo!) and also a slightly neurotic and scruffy looking dog. They are without doubt the most important things in my life but second to that is my love for helping and supporting people to change their lives for the better.
My initial background was in Executive Coaching and Development but after joining the Samaritans as a volunteer a couple of years ago I realised that I held an immense passion for working with people outside of their work environment. Helping individuals to achieve significant changes within their day to day lives brings me immense joy and satisfaction. It is as a result of this that I trained in, established and totally fell in love with the Personal Life Coaching aspect of my practice. It feels like a daily privilege to be able to work with people unsticking their lives.
As part of my belief in the importance of emotional well being I have also written and published a book for children to help them gain ownership and understanding of their mind. Whilst it is targeted at 7 - 13 year olds it is a method that has proven to have been of great benefit to adults as well!

Belief
I have always had a great love and passion for the power, mystery and intrigue of the human mind and psyche. From a very young age this has always been of immense interest to me so I consider it a great honour to not only have been able to train and study extensively in this field but also to work with people helping them to understand their compulsive patterns of behaviour and what it is that is creating a barrier in their lives. Watching someone to reach their maximum potential through understanding and acceptance is an incredibly rewarding experience.
I take a very individual approach to my coaching and employ a number of different methods tailored specifically to the individual. I have studied in and hold qualifications from a number of respected organisations including City University, Ashridge Executive Education, Gestalt Centre and have also undertaken NLP and Transactional Analysis Training. All of these result in being able to offer an integrative and Transformative style of coaching to my clients that is unique to them.
Fees
See my Packages page for more information
I strongly believe that coaching and support should be accessible to everyone so each week I hold a limited number of reduced cost clinics for people on low incomes. If this is something that you feel applies to you please do mention when calling and we can discuss further.
Location
I work from a location based in central Hitchin, Hertfordshire. This is easily accessible from both the M1, A1M and M25 with a number of parking options close by. I understand and appreciate that people lead busy lives so alongside this facility I am also more than happy to visit you in your work environment or similar. As a result of Covid-19 I am now also running a large number of my sessions over Zoom. This has proved successful and very effective.
Call Me
My main focus is centred on helping you to make the desired changes in your life so it is imperative to me that you feel confident that I am the right coach for you but also equally that you are the right client for me. Sometimes a simple chat over the phone is the best way to establish this. As a reinforcement to this I will also always offer an introductory “chemistry” meeting at a slightly reduced rate. This is a good opportunity to meet and discuss your desired outcomes and whether I am the right person to help you achieve these.
