About Hannah
Hannah Light is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She brings seven years of experience and focuses on listening closely so people feel understood. Hannah works with practical concerns like sleep, career strain and grief as well as longer-standing pain such as trauma and issues with self-esteem.
Her sessions are calm and straightforward. She encourages people to notice bodily sensations and emotions, and to speak about what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and somatic ideas are sometimes used to help people reconnect with their responses in everyday moments. People often come to Hannah when life changes feel heavy. She offers support around relationships, parenting pressures, burnout and compassion fatigue.
She also helps with specific worries such as chronic illness, caregiving stress and body image struggles. Hannah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Her way of working is collaborative - she aims to match techniques to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. Practical arrangements are discussed at first contact. Hannah can do video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
People who want to begin complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their schedule.

Approaches Hannah lists

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, feelings and body signals without getting carried away by them. Practising short exercises can reduce rumination and make day-to-day moments easier to cope with. Emotionally-Focused ideas support people to name and process strong feelings, which can help with grief, relationship stress and long-term sadness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hannah will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s pace and review what helps as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face and useful for visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quieter moment is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between meetings or choose a shorter, written way to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit support around work, caregiving or health limits.
