About Hannah

Hannah Ilori is a counsellor who helps people with sleep difficulties alongside a wide range of concerns. She works with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy issues. She also supports people dealing with eating and addiction problems, grief, parenting pressures and career transitions. Hannah holds the BACP credential and practises in the United Kingdom.

Hannah uses a person-centred, or client-centred, way of working. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and speak freely. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals rather than following a strict formula.

She describes herself as pluralist in approach, drawing on different methods when useful. Cognitive behavioural techniques may be introduced for practical change. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused and mindfulness tools also inform her work when they suit the client.

Hannah has four years of professional experience and has worked with people from varied cultural and national backgrounds. She tailors conversations and plans to fit each person's life and values.

Her style is compassionate and direct. She encourages people to take small, achievable steps and to notice what helps in day-to-day life. Those looking to address sleep problems or the other concerns listed can expect a collaborative process that balances listening with practical strategies.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people spot how early bonds affect sleep, stress and current connections. It looks at emotional responses and helps people try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Client-centred therapy centres the person's experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which can help when discussing sensitive topics like trauma or grief that affect rest and daily functioning. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change thinking and behaviour. For sleep issues, CBT techniques often include routines, addressing unhelpful thoughts about sleep, and small behavioural adjustments that improve rest over time. Finding the right approach is a shared task. Hannah will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the person's goals and life. She may blend listening-focused work with practical tools and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. It can reduce travel time and allow people to join sessions from different locations, making regular appointments simpler to keep. Confirm the exact session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect and can choose the option that best fits your schedule and needs.
