Hannah Light

Hannah Light is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people manage strong feelings and life stressors. She works with concerns such as anger, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Hannah aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can speak honestly and start to make small changes.

Hannah practises Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness alongside somatic ideas about body-based noticing. In sessions she encourages people to listen to their own needs and to name what is happening in the body and heart. That practical attention helps when emotions feel overwhelming or hard to understand.

Her way of working is gentle and direct. She offers focused listening and reflective feedback to help clarify patterns. Sessions often include grounding or breathing exercises and moments of reflection to bring attention back to the present.

Hannah has seven years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work has covered common issues such as depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, chronic health concerns and career stress alongside trauma, addiction of energy through compassion fatigue and life transitions.

People looking for help with anger, problems sleeping, difficulty concentrating, or coping after loss will find practical steps to try between sessions. To begin, she asks people to reflect on their goals and what they want to change, and then they plan small, manageable steps together.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Hannah integrates Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways suited to remote work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting back what a person says, helping to clarify goals and feelings during an online conversation. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and grounding practices into the session to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep or anxiety management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your concerns and preferences, and together you will decide which methods to try first. Techniques may be adjusted over time to suit how you respond and what you find most useful.

The biography does not specify session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit support into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or enabling shorter check-ins between commitments. It also makes it simpler to continue weekly momentum when life gets hectic, and to integrate short mindfulness or grounding practices into the day.
