About Hannah
Hannah Light is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress and life changes, and also supports those dealing with grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
Hannah uses a mix of approaches to suit what each person needs. She draws on client-centred work to make space for the person's own goals. She also brings in emotionally-focused methods for relationship and attachment concerns, alongside mindfulness and somatic ideas that link feelings with the body.
In sessions Hannah listens closely and encourages people to notice their needs. She helps clients name emotions, make sense of difficult reactions, and try small, practical steps that fit everyday life. The work is conversational and grounded rather than purely analytical.
Hannah also supports concerns such as sleep difficulties, parenting strain, career stress, anger and low self-esteem. She works with long-term health and caregiving issues, body image, and questions about life purpose and isolation.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Hannah uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary by location and are set through that subscription process.
How Hannah’s approaches translate to online work
Hannah commonly uses client-centred work and emotionally-focused therapy in her practice. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor follows the person’s agenda, reflects what is said and helps the person clarify goals. This approach suits people wanting practical, conversational support for stress, low mood and life decisions. Emotionally-focused therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people name and shift emotional responses. It is useful when relationship difficulties, attachment or intimacy are central concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hannah will discuss what feels most helpful and will adapt methods based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. The choice of approach is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific online session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into study, work or caring routines. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for those who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format suits a particular issue during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
