Hannah Dickinson , BACP

Hannah Dickinson is a counsellor who bases her work on person-centred care and trauma-informed thinking. She brings ten years of practice in the United Kingdom and offers an unobtrusive, respectful approach to difficult issues. Hannah aims to make talking about mental health feel straightforward and practical rather than overwhelming.

Hannah helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar difficulties. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures and concerns about self-esteem and body image. She works with clients on life transitions, career questions and managing anger or sleep problems.

Her day-to-day style is conversational and focused on what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions are shaped around the client's goals and adapted as progress is made. Hannah uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the work grounded in the client's viewpoint and Psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns over time.

When trauma is central to a person's story, she draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy methods to address painful memories and reactions. Practical tools and simple strategies are introduced to help with coping between sessions. Hannah also attends to identity and relationship questions, including LGBT concerns and issues around commitment and communication.

Hannah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. People choose therapy for many reasons, and she aims to meet each person where they are.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Hannah uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on the person's experience and immediate needs, offering a listening style that follows the client's priorities and goals. Psychodynamic work is also part of her practice and helps people recognise patterns that repeat over time, such as relationship or communication difficulties. When traumatic experiences are central, Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to address distressing memories and the reactions they cause.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Hannah works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's aims and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist review what is helpful and change direction when needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, while chat or messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing contact between longer meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and to continue care when in different locations.
