Hanna Truu
Therapy & Coaching
Hello,
I am Hanna, a London-based Therapist & Coach, Trauma-Informed Facilitator, and guide in the fields of personal transformation, intimacy, and relating.
My Story
Since I was young, I have been fascinated by human nature. I have spent most of my life on a journey discovering the various sides of our human existence - from the social sciences and psychology to the depths of conscious relating and embodied spirituality. I have always had a passion for understanding the world through integrating modern psychology and science-based approaches with Eastern philosophies, Psychospiritual and Transpersonal Psychology.
​
Like many other people, I was constantly searching for "something", and I was hunted by the sense that no matter how much I worked, archived, learned, "healed", or "worked on myself", it seemed to be just never good enough. I was always looking for "something" more. My search and passion took me to various academic and experimental courses around social sciences, neuroscience, psychology, transpersonal psychology, body- and trauma- focused therapies, Eastern Philosophies, conscious relating and sacred sexuality.
​
My journey has also taken me to long-term world travel, working worldwide, living in various cultures, and exploring world religions. I have lived in remote outback areas, travelled and lived in areas with nomadic and aboriginal cultures, and explored the cultural diversity and subcultures in the world metropolis. Also, I am familiar with the corporate world and have worked in the international travel industry.
​
I plunged into the world of psychology, conscious relationships, attachment theory, sacred sexuality, embodied intimacy, and trauma-and-body- focused therapies. I learned how to heal my nervous system, re-learned healthy and mature love, and dived deep into my shadows and recovery from relational traumas. Most importantly, I learned how to build expansive relationships, heal in connections and build deep, loving intimacy with myself. I finally found a sense of "alrightness", inner peace, and self-love, not through becoming perfect or transcending my messy and real humanness, but by focusing on the root cause of the traumas that created this polarity in the first place.
​
My work borrows from my own experience and from my belief that therapy can be more than 'healing' - it can be transformational. Personal growth and healing do not have to be two different paths.
​
You may have also been searching for a long time; you may feel stuck and anxious, or feel hunted by a sense that there must be something more in life. Would you like to stop searching and find your own unique answers?
