About Hannah

Hannah Dickinson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on ten years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar difficulties, and she supports those dealing with trauma, relationship strain and eating and body image concerns. Hannah uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. She listens without judgement and adapts the pace to each person. Hannah aims to build a calm, steady working relationship so people feel understood and able to talk about difficult topics. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help clients notice patterns from the past that affect current feelings and relationships. This can be useful for people who want to understand repeating cycles, attachment issues, or long-standing worries. Trauma-focused work is part of her practice for those dealing with abuse, upsetting events or intrusive memories. That work is done carefully and at a pace agreed with the client, with attention to emotional safety and gradual progress. Hannah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She accepts clients based in the UK and international clients who wish to work in English. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their needs.

How Hannah's approaches translate to online therapy

Hannah works using client-centred principles and psychodynamic ideas, and she includes trauma-focused methods when needed. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship, listening closely and letting people set the pace and topics of the work. Psychodynamic Therapy helps people identify patterns and past influences that affect how they feel and relate to others. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing events safely and in manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Hannah will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use, checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting as goals change. This collaborative process aims to make sessions relevant to day-to-day concerns and longer-term change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow quieter check-ins during a work break, or avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting. Discussing practical arrangements with Hannah will help match session length, frequency and style to personal needs.
