About Hannah
Hannah Dickinson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and bipolar, and a wide range of life changes and relationship concerns. Hannah also supports people dealing with addictions, ADHD, self-esteem and issues linked to identity and intimacy.
Hannah uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Trauma-focused work is used when difficult past events are affecting day-to-day life. Sessions are conversational and aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about.
Her practice includes practical help for common early-adult problems such as work stress, starting a career, moving out, and the pressure of comparing yourself to others. She also addresses specific concerns like sleep, eating, and relationship communication. The approach is straightforward: listen, name the issue, and try small, manageable steps to change what isn’t working.
Hannah has a history of working with complex issues including abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, family problems and domestic violence. She also supports clients with questions about life purpose, midlife shifts, and men’s issues. Her mix of approaches lets her adapt to different needs while keeping the person’s goals central.
Sessions are carried out in English and Hannah accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to use the platform’s matching process to arrange a first appointment and to check which session options are currently offered.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. In practice this means sessions begin with what matters most right now and are paced around the client’s concerns. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence current behaviour. This can help when people notice the same relationship or work problems repeat over time. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events on daily life and uses careful, gradual work to reduce their impact.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to use and how to adapt them. That conversation continues as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or offering sessions that do not require video when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to maintain continuity of care when clients move or travel, and to make scheduling more flexible.
