About Hannah

Hannah Light is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem and other life changes. Hannah also lists depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues among her focus areas.

Hannah uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client's experience central. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice how thoughts, feelings and bodily reactions interact. She draws on emotionally-focused methods to look at relationship patterns and on mindfulness and somatic ideas to bring attention to the body and present moment.

In practice Hannah encourages quieter reflection as well as talking things through. She aims to help clients identify what matters to them, notice unhelpful patterns, and try small, practical steps to change how they cope. Sessions are paced to the individual and focus on clear, everyday language rather than technical terms.

Hannah has worked across a range of presenting issues including parenting stress, career worries, chronic health concerns and the strains of caring for others. She also lists work with ADHD, sleeping problems and anger. Her experience includes supporting people through bereavement and end-of-life related concerns.

People who prefer noticing bodily signals or who want to learn present-moment awareness may find the combination of somatic and mindfulness approaches useful. Before booking she asks people to follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first appointment.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Hannah blends client-centred work with emotionally-focused and mindfulness methods to support people online. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the client's own experience and priorities and helps people feel heard while they make decisions about next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change unhelpful interaction cycles. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and can help with rumination, stress and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Hannah will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change during therapy.

The biography notes that she offers sessions via video or audio on specific days, and the site process asks you to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling. If you want to check exact session formats and timings please confirm them during the booking steps. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can attend from wherever they are.
