About Hannah

Hannah Light is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and anger among other concerns. Hannah’s practice pays attention to how emotional, mental and bodily experiences connect in day-to-day life.

Her approach centres on Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness-based work. Sessions tend to focus on clear listening, helping people notice what they feel, and finding practical ways to respond rather than react. She also brings somatic ideas into conversations about how the body and emotions interact.

Hannah helps people talk through life shifts such as career changes, parenting stress, bereavement, and chronic health issues. She also supports work on self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems and anger that shows up at home or work. Practical strategies and regular check-ins are part of how she works.

People are invited to reflect on values and workable steps they can try between sessions. Hannah explains approaches in plain language and uses mindfulness exercises and body-awareness techniques when they fit the issue. Her style is steady and direct, aimed at helping people reduce reactivity and gain clearer choices.

To begin, clients use an online matching process and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Hannah uses Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor focuses on listening, reflecting and following what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs time to sort out feelings and make clearer decisions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and shift the ways they respond to strong emotions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system. These exercises can help with anxiety, sleep problems and anger that builds up over time. Hannah may introduce short grounding or breathing exercises and encourage small experiments to test different responses between sessions.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Hannah will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try first. She works with clients to adjust the plan if something does not fit or if priorities change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify every option. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt techniques like mindfulness and somatic awareness to remote sessions so practical skills can be practised in everyday life.
