About Hannah
Hannah Light is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain and related life changes. Her listed areas also include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, anger, career worries and ADHD.
Hannah uses approaches that attend to feelings, bodily experience and present-moment awareness. Sessions aim to help people notice their emotional responses, name them and find practical ways to cope. She often draws on client-centred conversation to help people feel listened to and understood.
People who come to Hannah for parenting or family problems can expect calm, steady conversations about what’s happening at home. She helps adults talk through communication problems, separation and divorce issues, caregiving stress, and the strain that chronic illness or bereavement can bring.
Her work also includes support for people facing life-limiting illness, hospice and end-of-life matters, and the emotional effects of cancer and chronic pain. Practical coping strategies and attention to daily routines are part of this work.
Hannah describes a focus on helping people reconnect with their needs and inner resources. She encourages regular reflection, simple mindfulness practices and awareness of bodily signals so clients can manage overwhelming feelings in everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on open, non-directive conversation. The counsellor listens with attention and follows what you bring to the session. This helps adults clarify what matters to them and decide on next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with feelings and how they show up in relationships. It helps people name painful emotions, understand patterns and try new ways of responding in close relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity. Short exercises can help with anxiety, sleep problems and managing strong emotions during stressful days. Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. Hannah will discuss your goals and preferences and help choose approaches that suit your needs. That decision is made together, and can be reviewed as therapy progresses. Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the supplied profile does not list them here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example a shorter check-in between tasks, or a session that avoids travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote work useful for maintaining continuity when schedules are busy.Areas of focus
