Hannah Light , BACP

Hannah Light is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and changes in life. She is Hannah Light, BACP, and brings seven years of professional experience. Her way of working is warm and attentive, with an emphasis on listening and practical support.

Hannah creates a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them. She encourages clients to notice their own needs and inner wisdom. Sessions may include talking, breathing or body-aware exercises when helpful.

Her work often focuses on emotional struggles such as low self-esteem, depression, grief and trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing career shifts, parenting strains, relationship and family problems, and issues around intimacy and sleep. Hannah pays attention to how life events affect the whole person - mind, body and feelings.

She also helps with long-term or complex concerns like chronic illness, caregiver stress, ageing questions, body image and life-purpose struggles. Practical coping strategies and small steps are used alongside exploring difficult feelings.

Hannah offers sessions in English and works with people in the United Kingdom. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling to suit both parties.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Hannah uses client-centred work that focuses on the person in front of her, listening closely and following what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs empathy, validation and practical ways to make changes in daily life.

She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy, which helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how emotions drive those patterns. That approach can be useful for relationship worries, intimacy issues and for learning new ways to connect with others.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Hannah will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit their needs. Together they adjust the focus over time so therapy feels useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving options for different situations. Video is useful when visual cues help the work, phone calls need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or mobility limits while keeping the therapeutic focus on emotional change and coping.
