About Hannah
Counsellor Hannah Ilori is a BACP-registered practitioner working in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and eating disorders among other concerns. Hannah also lists support with anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, parenting and career issues.
Hannah describes her base approach as client-centred, which means she focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. She also uses ideas from attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural therapy where they seem useful. Sessions are conversational and aim to help the person make sense of feelings and behaviour rather than relying on jargon.
Her practice includes attention to background and culture. She has worked with people from a range of nationalities and religious backgrounds and says she seeks to learn from different perspectives. This can shape how she explores family of origin issues, blended family matters, or fatherhood concerns.
Hannah lists several additional focus areas such as body image, codependency, control issues and isolation or loneliness. She also notes experience with autism and Asperger syndrome and avoidant or dependent personality presentations, describing these as areas she may explore with clients when relevant.
Her stated style is pluralist, drawing on multiple methods when helpful. That can mean combining mindfulness practices, emotionally focused ideas or CBT techniques alongside client-centred conversation. People can expect practical discussion about coping strategies and attention to how relationships affect current feelings.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Hannah uses therapy approaches in remote work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns. In practice Hannah helps people notice repeated relationship patterns and consider different ways of responding to close others.Client-centred therapy centres the conversation on the person's experience. Sessions are led by what the client brings, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to clarify feelings and priorities.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Hannah may use simple CBT techniques to help with anxiety, low mood or problematic behaviours when these tools suit the person's goals.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Hannah says she will work with clients to find which methods make most sense for their needs, goals and preferences. That decision can be reviewed as work progresses.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. If you need clarification on the exact session formats offered, confirm the current options before booking. The emphasis is on making sessions workable within everyday life rather than on any particular format.
