Sessions are presented as respectful conversations where the client leads the topics and pace.

Her background includes work in community and clinical settings across the UK.

Additional courses include pregnancy support, mental health awareness, dementia awareness and safeguarding vulnerable adults.
She frequently works with people facing grief, relationship breakdown, career change, parenting strain, caregiving stress and issues linked to identity such as LGBT concerns.

How Hannah uses client-centred work for remote counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies feelings and supports people to make their own choices. This approach often helps with issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship concerns.Humanistic and existential ideas look at what matters in a person's life and at difficult life choices. These approaches can help when someone feels stuck, is facing major change, or is questioning their life purpose. The emphasis is on understanding feelings and practical next steps rather than on labels or diagnoses.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Hannah discusses options with each person and adapts her approach to their needs, goals and preferences. She works collaboratively to decide which methods to use and to set the pace of sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, remote sessions can help people fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it easier to continue work when moving between locations or balancing work and family commitments.
