Hannah Light

Hannah Light is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She emphasises listening, presence and helping people connect with their own inner wisdom. Hannah aims to create a calm, respectful environment where someone can speak openly and explore what matters most to them.

Over seven years of practice, Hannah has supported people coping with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps those dealing with grief, life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem. Hospice and end-of-life counselling is listed among her focus areas, and she works with challenges related to caregiving, chronic illness and ageing.

Her practice draws on client-centred work alongside emotionally focused and mindfulness-based methods. Somatic ideas may also appear, helping people notice how feelings show up in the body and respond in practical ways. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, achievable steps.

Hannah uses attentive listening and guided questions to help people name their priorities. She encourages simple practices that can reduce distress between sessions, such as grounding or mindful breathing. The aim is to support clearer choices and steadier daily routines.

She holds BACP, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients follow the site's sign-up flow and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Hannah’s approaches translate to online counselling

Hannah draws primarily on client-centred work and emotionally focused methods, with mindfulness practices added where helpful. Client-centred work means the session follows the person’s pace and priorities, with Hannah offering attentive listening and reflective responses to help clarify feelings and choices. Emotionally focused ideas aim to help people identify and express core emotions, which can be useful for grief, relationship stress and losses connected to illness.

Mindfulness is used to teach simple, practical exercises for calming the body and sharpening awareness. These short practices can reduce overwhelm between sessions and support steadying routines during difficult periods such as caregiving or end-of-life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That shared planning helps ensure sessions feel relevant and manageable for the person seeking support.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online work can fit into busy lives by removing travel time and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or longer therapy slots around work and caring responsibilities. It also allows use of breathing or grounding exercises in the moment, and makes it simpler to continue therapy when life circumstances change.
