About Hannah
Hannah Light is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years' experience and works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem, depression and life changes among other concerns.
Hannah uses a client‑centred way of working. That means conversations focus on the person's experience and what matters to them. She also draws on emotionally‑focused methods to look at how feelings affect relationships and behaviour.
Sessions may include mindfulness and somatic (body‑aware) practices to help people notice thoughts, feelings and bodily signals. These techniques are offered alongside talking, so practical coping can be built into everyday life.
Hannah lists a wide range of concerns she helps with. These include relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy‑related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger and career stress. She also works with longer‑term health and end‑of‑life issues such as chronic illness, cancer and hospice care.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens and helps people name what they want to change. Sessions aim to make small, steady adjustments rather than promise quick fixes.

How Hannah uses counselling approaches in online sessions
Hannah draws on client‑centred therapy, emotionally‑focused work and mindfulness in her online practice. Client‑centred therapy means the conversation follows what matters to the person and the counsellor listens to their experience. Emotionally‑focused work looks at how feelings affect the way people relate to themselves and others, which can help with relationship strain and difficult emotions.Mindfulness practice is used to help people notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations without judging them. This can support anxiety, stress and sleep problems by building steady, small skills to manage difficult moments. Hannah may also use somatic ideas to help people notice how emotion appears in the body and to develop simple grounding practices.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hannah will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as the work develops.
The directory booking flow explains how to arrange sessions. The biography does not list all session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life and can reduce travelling time. They also allow for shorter check‑in appointments or audio only options when that suits practical needs.
