About Hannah

Hannah Ilori is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and eating disorders among other concerns.

Hannah uses a person-centred approach as a core way of working. She places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and on listening so people can speak honestly about what matters to them. She describes her style as pluralist and will bring in other methods when they suit the issue at hand.

Alongside person-centred work, Hannah uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name emotions that are hard to express. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address patterns of thought and behaviour, and on mindfulness to help with stress and anxiety.

Hannah has worked with people from many backgrounds and nationalities and pays attention to cultural differences in her sessions. She aims to adapt conversations and practical steps to the person in front of her rather than following a single template.

Her practical approach includes talking through problems, practising new ways of responding, and using simple exercises between sessions when helpful. People who want to get started are invited to use the site’s matching process and schedule an initial session to see how the work feels.

How Hannah uses EFT, attachment work and CBT online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming difficult emotions and how they shape relationship and personal patterns. It can help people understand the feelings that come up in close interactions and learn different ways to respond.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early attachment experiences influence current ways of relating. It helps people notice recurring patterns in relationships and try new ways of connecting that feel more manageable.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and for changing daily habits that get in the way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hannah will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the plan to personal goals and preferences in a collaborative way. The choice of method can change as the work progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid being on camera if that helps. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to offer continuity and practical access to therapy, while deciding together what works best for each person.
