About Hannah
Hannah Dickinson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, addictions and parenting concerns. Hannah also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues and practical life changes.
She uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on the person's experiences. That approach means conversations begin with what matters most to the client and progress at a pace that feels manageable. Hannah also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people see repeated patterns from the past that affect current relationships and choices.
Trauma-focused techniques are included when past harm is a core concern. Hannah aims to help people reduce the intensity of distressing memories and to rebuild a sense of control in day-to-day life. Sessions mix talking, reflection and practical steps to cope better between meetings.
Hannah often addresses family and parenting stresses by working on communication and boundary setting. She helps with common practical struggles such as sleep problems, low self-esteem, and managing anger or addictive behaviours. Additional areas she has worked with include ADHD, body image, blended family issues and midlife transitions.
Her approach is straightforward and adult-focused. People are asked to describe their priorities and goals early on so the work is directed and clear. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site's online matching and booking process to schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's priorities and building sessions around their immediate concerns. Online sessions using this approach typically let clients lead the topics while the counsellor reflects and helps organise thoughts.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from earlier relationships and life events that still affect day-to-day choices. Online meetings can be used to notice repeating themes and to try out different ways of understanding difficult interactions with others.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the intensity of distress from past harm and on developing stronger coping skills. In remote work this often means pacing exposure to difficult memories and adding practical strategies to manage strong emotions between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hannah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as understanding grows and new priorities appear.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy household, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote appointments help them maintain continuity of care while balancing family or work commitments.
