About Hanna
Hanna Seely is a UK counsellor with the NCPS credential and three years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, grief, self-esteem and the upheavals that come with early adulthood.
Hanna draws on several approaches in her practice, combining elements of client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings, while also making space to talk about patterns that keep repeating. She has a background working in education for nearly a decade and brings that experience into conversations about development and life transitions.
People often come to her when they feel stuck after university, struggling with first jobs, or anxious about money and relationships. She talks through immediate coping strategies for anxiety and low mood, and helps clarify priorities for short-term change.
Her use of psychodynamic ideas means she may look at how past relationships shape current feelings. Cognitive behavioural elements are used to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Client-centred methods involve listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers.
Hanna also works with issues linked to identity and LGBT concerns, family of origin problems, attachment and abandonment themes, and ADHD-related challenges. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical, with clear next steps agreed together.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find clearer answers for themselves; online this often looks like open conversation and careful feedback to help set goals and small steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and tests small experiments to change them; online sessions can include worksheets, short between-session tasks and review of progress. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past relationships shape current patterns and feelings; in remote sessions this can mean tracking recurring themes and noticing how they show up now. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt methods as goals evolve. That makes the process collaborative rather than predetermined. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around study, shifts or commute times, and it can let people use shorter check-ins or focused practical sessions when needed. It can also reduce travel time and make regular appointments simpler to keep while juggling early adult commitments.Areas of expertise
