Hannah Light

Hannah Light is a counsellor who works from a whole-person perspective. She uses a client-centred approach to help people sort out stress, anxiety, grief and issues around self-esteem. Hannah presents herself as calm and attentive and aims to help people feel heard and understood.

Her sessions often invite people to notice how thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations connect. She encourages people to listen to their needs and to express themselves from a heartfelt place. Hannah describes offering her full presence and listening without judgement as central to her approach.

Hannah has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she lists as her credential. She draws on emotionally-focused ways of working when relationship or intimacy issues come up. She also uses mindfulness and somatic tools to help with stress, sleeping problems and chronic physical symptoms.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns including depression, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, anger, career strain and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and end-of-life concerns. Hannah notes attention to ADHD and family-related difficulties as part of her focus.

Sessions are offered in English and operate from the United Kingdom. The therapist asks people to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Hannah works in a client-centred way that puts the person’s experience first. This approach means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the client rather than using a fixed agenda. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns where feeling understood is important.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which helps people identify and shift patterns in how they relate and respond emotionally. This can be helpful when intimacy, attachment or communication problems are central to someone’s difficulties. Mindfulness therapy is another part of her practice and offers simple, present-moment exercises to ease anxiety, improve sleep and reduce stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hannah will work with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She explains options, adapts techniques and checks in so the work feels helpful and manageable.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list every option. The therapist has offered video or audio sessions on certain days in the past; checking current options will show what is possible now. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can access support from where they are.
