About Hannah
Hannah Light is a counsellor who draws on person-centred ways of working. She aims to help people notice what matters to them and make changes that fit their life. Hannah puts attentive listening and acceptance at the heart of sessions to help people feel heard and clearer about what to do next.
Her approach often brings mind and body into the same conversation. She uses elements of emotionally-focused work to explore feelings, and mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people calm their nervous system and stay present. This can be useful for worries, panic or times of intense stress.
Hannah works with common life challenges such as anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with change. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, sleep disruption, parenting pressures and work-related stress. Longer term health concerns such as chronic illness, cancer, caregiving and end-of-life matters are included in her focus areas.
Her practising credential is BACP, which indicates professional registration in the UK. She has seven years of experience in counselling and brings that background into how she plans sessions and sets goals with clients.
People who choose to work with her can expect calm, patient conversation and practical exercises to try between meetings. Hannah encourages people to notice bodily signals, use breath-based grounding and bring curiosity to difficult emotions as part of making steady changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful listening and helping people find their own solutions. In online sessions this means the counsellor offers open questions, reflections and practical prompts so the client can clarify goals and next steps.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at strong feelings and how they shape relationships with self and others. Used online, it supports people to notice emotion patterns, name what is happening and try new ways of responding, which can reduce intensity during panic or conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hannah will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs and preferences. She explores what feels most useful and adjusts the mix of listening, mindfulness exercises and body-based practices as the work develops.
Her biography specifies video and audio options on certain days, so please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can fit more easily into daily life, making it simpler to schedule sessions around work, childcare or treatment appointments. Audio sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, while video allows for guided breathing, movement and visual demonstration of grounding techniques.
