Hannah Light, BACP

Hannah Light is a counsellor who draws on client-centred work to help people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She uses a calm, non-judgemental style and focuses on each person's strengths. Hannah holds BACP accreditation and has seven years of experience in practice in the United Kingdom.

Hannah believes wellbeing involves the whole person - mind, body, emotions and spirit. Sessions may include gentle body-focused techniques and mindfulness alongside talking. She aims to create a warm space where people can notice what matters to them and speak honestly about it.

Her approach is collaborative. Hannah listens closely and supports people to find their own answers. She encourages practical steps and small changes that fit with each person's daily life.

Common issues she helps with include depression, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger and sleep problems. She also works with long-term illness, chronic pain, caregiving stress, ageing and end-of-life concerns, and career or life-purpose questions.

Hannah offers an empathetic, steady presence and focuses on meeting people where they are. Her sessions aim to reduce overwhelm, build coping skills and help people move towards clearer priorities. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to her availability.

How Hannah's approaches work online

Hannah uses client-centred work and emotionally-focused methods to guide online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding, helping people feel heard and supported so they can work out their own next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and how they affect relationships and everyday choices, which can be useful for grief, intimacy-related issues and family concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hannah will talk with each person about their goals and what feels most helpful. She adapts techniques collaboratively, trying different ways of working until a good fit is found.

The practical aim of online work is to fit therapy into busy lives. Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as current options are shown during scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from home or a quieter place, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Hannah uses her clinical approaches to support coping, notice body-mind signals and practise skills between meetings, helping therapy fit around everyday responsibilities.
