About Hannah
Hannah Prentice is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience offering one-to-one support. She provides a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them and start to feel less overwhelmed. Sessions are aimed at helping clients make small, practical changes so emotions stop taking over day-to-day life.
Hannah uses a person-centred style that values each person's story and pace. She listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients can untangle confusing thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
This plain, steady approach is often helpful for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and work-related strains. Her background includes work across community mental health, hospital support and advocacy in a prison setting. She has provided counselling in charity and foodbank settings, and offered pregnancy support and victim services.
Those roles shape a practical, down-to-earth way of working with people in varied life situations. Hannah also draws on studies in philosophy and psychology alongside a Level 4 therapeutic counselling qualification. Her training includes mental health awareness, bereavement support and dementia awareness, which inform how she responds to loss, life changes and carer stress.
People who come to Hannah often want help with low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief or managing big life changes. She supports those struggling with loneliness, career uncertainty, parenting stress and compassion fatigue. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on manageable steps forward.

Approaches Hannah lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on humanistic and existential influences that encourage people to consider meaning, life choices and what matters most to them. These ways of working aim to help clients notice options and make decisions that fit their values rather than following someone else's agenda.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Hannah treats it as a collaborative task. She will check in about how methods are working, adapt to the client's needs and agree on small steps to try between sessions. Clients help shape the pace and focus of the work based on goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, while phone calls can fit a break at work or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Chat and messaging can work for brief check-ins or for sharing thoughts between calls. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments and support continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
