Hannah Light, BACP

Hannah Light is a counsellor who works from a people-centred approach. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on each person’s experience and create a respectful space to talk. Hannah is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has seven years of professional experience in the UK.

Her practice pays attention to mind and body together. Sessions may include attention to feelings, bodily sensations, and mindful awareness. This approach is often used when people are facing stress, anxiety, grief, life changes or questions about life purpose.

Hannah often helps people untangle relationship strains, communication problems and issues around intimacy. She also works with mood concerns such as depression, low self-esteem, and sleep difficulties. Practical coping strategies and reflective listening are common parts of the work.

The therapist has worked with long-term stresses including caregiver strain, chronic illness and grief. She also supports people dealing with career shifts, parenting strains, anger, and compassion fatigue. ADHD and body image are among the other areas she addresses.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Hannah encourages people to notice their inner responses, make small changes, and build a sense of direction. To begin, readers should check session options and scheduling details before booking.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions can still prioritise that open, non-directive listening and help people clarify what they want to change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to patterns in feelings and interaction; in an online setting it can support people to name emotions and try new ways of responding to difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through methods and try things based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the relationship and priorities become clearer.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and make it simpler to attend brief check-ins or regular meetings. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
