About Hannah
Hannah Dickinson offers a warm, person-focused way of working. She uses a client-centred stance to listen and respond to what matters most to each person. Hannah is a BACP registered counsellor with ten years' experience in the United Kingdom.
She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties and trauma. Sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating issues and addictions are also within her areas of focus. She supports people dealing with life changes, career pressures and parenting strains.
Hannah adapts sessions to each person's needs rather than following a single template. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of painful events. The client-centred approach keeps the work grounded in the person's own priorities.
Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Conversations often include noticing patterns, trying small changes and reviewing what helps day to day. For sleep and rest issues she looks at routines, day-to-day stresses and how thoughts or worries affect sleep.
People are invited to set goals and review progress together. Hannah encourages honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change. Starting therapy is framed as a step-by-step process, with the therapist alongside the client throughout the journey.
How Hannah's approaches translate to online therapy
Hannah works from a client-centred foundation, which means online sessions begin by focusing on the person's immediate concerns and priorities. This approach helps shape each session around what the client finds most important, whether that is managing sleep, reducing anxiety or coping with day-to-day stress.Psychodynamic work in an online setting looks at repeating patterns and past experiences that influence current feelings and behaviours. It can help uncover connections between earlier relationships and present difficulties, which may be useful for issues such as relationship problems or persistent low mood.
Trauma-focused methods online involve paced, careful work on the way distressing events affect thoughts, feelings and sleep. These approaches aim to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and to build skills for managing symptoms that disturb rest and daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to the client's goals and try methods that fit personal needs and preferences. Together they will review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and day-to-day life. It can also allow shorter check-ins, quieter conversations when needed and flexible scheduling to support sleep and rest goals.
