About Hannah

Hannah Light is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Her work also covers relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger and career matters.

Hannah describes therapy as an opportunity to bring mind and body into alignment. She includes emotional and bodily awareness in sessions and uses approaches that help people notice and name difficult feelings. Conversations focus on what matters day to day and what feels hard to say out loud.

Her stated methods include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centred work, mindfulness and somatic approaches. In practical terms this can mean listening closely, guiding attention to present experience, and offering simple ways to make sense of strong reactions. The aim is to help people recognise patterns and try new ways of responding.

Hannah works with practical concerns such as communication problems, life purpose, and caring for someone who is ill. She also supports people facing ageing and geriatric issues, chronic pain and illness, cancer, bereavement, and end-of-life matters. Sessions may explore guilt, shame, forgiveness and feelings of emptiness.

Her background includes seven years of client work in the UK and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. To begin, readers are invited to check the online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.

How her approaches translate to online working

Hannah uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name intense feelings and relationship patterns. EFT focuses on emotions and how they shape reactions, which can be useful for worries about connection, intimacy and recurring arguments.

She also draws on client-centred work that foregrounds listening and the person's own priorities. This approach helps people set the pace and decide what to focus on in sessions. Mindfulness practice is used to bring attention into the present moment, often helping with anxiety, sleep problems and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Hannah will work with clients to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She sees therapy as a collaborative process where style and techniques are tested and adjusted together.

The biography describes online sessions via an audio or video platform on specific days, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and which formats are offered to match therapy to everyday life.
