About Hannah

Hannah Light is a counsellor who bases her work on a client-centred approach. She brings seven years of practice and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems and other life disruptions. Hannah aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can speak honestly and feel heard.

Her way of working draws on emotionally-focused and mindfulness approaches. Sessions often include simple grounding and body-awareness techniques to help with overwhelming feelings. She encourages people to notice what their bodies and emotions are saying, then to use that information to make manageable changes.

Hannah supports people coping with grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures and major life changes. She also addresses issues such as low self-esteem, depression, anger, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. Sleeping difficulties and attention concerns such as ADHD are among the practical problems she will talk through with clients.

Her practice also makes room for longer-term or complex health matters like chronic pain, cancer-related stress and end-of-life concerns. Hannah aims to help clients find clearer priorities, kinder self-talk and small routines that reduce daily strain.

She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say and helps them find their own solutions; this approach can help with stress, low self-esteem and everyday decisions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and make sense of strong emotions in relationships and personal life. It supports work on attachment, intimacy-related concerns and grief by naming feelings and gently shifting unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hannah will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This will usually start with a conversation about what feels most pressing and what feels doable in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, fewer travel stresses and the ability to use grounding exercises while at home. Many people find that remote sessions support consistent progress when life is busy.
