About Hannah
Hannah Light combines a person-centred way of working with attention to how the body and emotions connect. She aims to make therapy feel straightforward and approachable. Hannah uses listening and gentle guidance to help people notice what they need and take small steps forward.
She brings seven years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and parenting.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing long-term health issues, caregiving strain, life transitions and career pressure. In sessions Hannah often begins by helping clients name what matters most right now. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
Elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy and somatic approaches help when emotions feel overwhelming or are held in the body. Mindfulness is woven into practical tools that fit everyday life, such as short breathing exercises and noticing habits that keep problems active. Conversations focus on clear, doable steps rather than on complex theory.
Parents who are tired or unsure about choices can expect calm, practical attention to what’s realistic for them. Hannah offers a warm listening style and an emphasis on personal strengths. She works collaboratively to explore options, practise new ways of coping and build routines that support long-term wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
Hannah commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the client’s needs and priorities at the centre of each session. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, follows the person’s pace and focuses on what feels most important right now.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people map and name difficult feelings. This can be useful when relationships, intimacy or personal patterns feel stuck, or when strong emotions are hard to understand.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the client’s goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made in collaboration so people feel involved in shaping their therapy.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper exchange is wanted. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective notes between sessions or times when writing feels more comfortable. These formats increase flexibility and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care.
