About Hannah
Hannah Dickinson is a counsellor who uses client-centred and trauma-informed ways of working. She brings ten years of practice in the United Kingdom and focuses on helping people coping with depression, anxiety and stressful life changes. Hannah aims to make the first step feel simple and manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy.
Her approach begins by listening closely to each person's story and priorities. She works collaboratively to shape what happens in sessions and to set practical goals that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
This usually means talking through difficulties, noticing patterns, and trying small changes between meetings. Hannah draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences influence current feelings and relationships. She also uses trauma-focused methods when people have been harmed or feel overwhelmed by past events.
Those approaches help when intrusive memories, shame, or emotional numbing are getting in the way of daily life. She supports people with a wide range of concerns such as stress, addictions, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, eating difficulties, and ADHD. Hannah also works with people facing life transitions, career decisions, midlife questions, and issues around identity and shame.
Hannah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and practices in the UK. She aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity, and she tailors her work to each person’s needs.

Online support
Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. It can help when recurring relationship problems or long-standing mood shifts feel unexplained. This approach often involves noticing patterns across sessions and linking feelings now to earlier events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hannah will discuss options and help you choose what fits your needs, goals and comfort. Decisions are made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines and preferences. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone calls work well with lower bandwidth, live chat and messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule meetings around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
