About Hanna
Hanna Seely is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting concerns and low self-esteem. She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people make small changes that add up. Her manner is warm and respectful and she aims to make sessions easy to understand and focused on what matters to the client.
With three years of professional experience, Hanna draws on prior work in the education sector that spanned nearly a decade.
Background and approach
That background gives her insight into developmental pressures and everyday challenges parents often describe. She brings that perspective into sessions without jargon, using language most people recognise. Hanna works in an integrative way, combining client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas when they fit.
This allows sessions to be tailored to each person’s needs rather than following a single method. She explains therapeutic choices plainly and checks what is useful as work progresses. Typical sessions involve exploring current problems, identifying patterns that maintain distress, and trying out practical steps between meetings.
People come with issues such as trauma, intimacy worries, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns, and career or life transitions. Hanna helps people talk through these concerns and plan manageable next steps. She holds the NCPS credential and offers online formats to suit different lives.
The approach is collaborative: goals are agreed together and reviewed as progress is made. Hanna aims to help people feel more confident in handling present challenges and making lasting adjustments.

How Hanna’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist offers empathy, reflection and support so you feel heard and can explore what matters most. This approach suits people wanting a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk about parenting pressures, relationships and self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to try new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, anger and low mood. CBT can be helpful for people who want clear steps to change unhelpful patterns between sessions.
Psychodynamic ideas help identify repeated patterns that come from past relationships or early experiences. Talking through these patterns can clarify why certain situations trigger strong reactions and open opportunities for different choices moving forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Hanna will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences, and she will review progress and change direction if needed. This joint decision-making helps tailor sessions for what actually helps.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when desired. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts in writing and fit support around busy days. These options make it simpler to keep therapy regular and manageable alongside parenting and work commitments.
