Hannah Ilori , BACP

Hannah Ilori is a counsellor who helps people facing trauma, relationship strain, eating difficulties and anxiety. She works with depression, stress, anger and issues around self-esteem. Hannah also supports those dealing with grief, addiction concerns, intimacy-related worries and career pressures.

Her style is warm and person-centred. Hannah aims to offer a space where clients feel heard without judgement. She values genuine, compassionate dialogue and encourages people to voice their thoughts and feelings.

Hannah draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person she meets. She uses client-centred work as a base and brings in cognitive behavioural techniques when thinking patterns need addressing. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas inform how she looks at relationships and connection.

She pays attention to background and culture and has worked with people from a range of nationalities and beliefs. Hannah tailors sessions to the individual, so practical steps are balanced with listening and reflection.

Hannah holds BACP as her listed credential and has four years of professional experience. She supports people with a broad set of concerns including bipolar, parenting strain, sleep problems, body image and isolation. Her approach is collaborative and focused on small, practical changes as well as deeper emotional work.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Hannah commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship so people can speak openly and discover their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy addresses unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by practising specific skills and small experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Attachment-based ideas also feature in her work when relationship patterns are important. This approach looks at how early connections shape current closeness and trust, and it can help with intimacy issues, separation worry and feeling isolated. Together, these approaches give space for both feeling heard and making practical changes.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Hannah will discuss goals and preferences and help choose methods that suit each person. That collaboration means methods can be adjusted as work progresses to match needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a busy day or lower bandwidth, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions and keep momentum while working through concerns.
