About Hanna

Hanna Seely is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and anger. She is listed with the NCPS and brings three years of professional experience to her practice. Hanna aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

Hanna previously worked in the education sector for nearly a decade, and that background shapes how she supports developmental concerns and life transitions. She uses a mix of approaches so sessions can be tailored to each person. In practice this means talking through what matters most to you, trying short exercises when helpful, and reflecting on past patterns that keep recurring.

Her work often focuses on everyday challenges such as motivation, coping with loss, relationship communication and managing strong emotions like anger. Hanna places emphasis on practical strategies as well as understanding underlying feelings and history. She offers a calm, sensitive manner and aims to build a trusting space where people can be honest about their difficulties.

People can expect a collaborative process. Hanna listens for what a person values and then shapes sessions around those goals. Progress is paced to suit the individual rather than following a fixed script.

Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details, as these can vary. Hanna communicates in English and does not accept international clients at this time.

Approaches and how they translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what someone says so they feel understood. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decide on their own next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes. It can be useful for anxiety, anger and low mood where practical steps and short tasks make a difference.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that developed earlier in life and how they show up now. Thinking about these patterns can help explain repeated relationship struggles or recurring emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hanna will discuss goals and preferences and then adapt methods together. That means trying a practical CBT activity one week and spending time on personal history the next, based on what best helps the person reach their aims.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose quieter times or less visually demanding contact if that helps them stay engaged.
