Hannah LightBACP

Hannah Light is a counsellor who uses a person-focused approach to help people through major life changes. She works in the United Kingdom and brings seven years of professional experience to sessions. Hannah aims to create a calm space where clients can speak honestly and be heard without judgement.

Her practice emphasises listening and helping clients connect with their own sense of what feels right. Hannah draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s pace, and on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to attend to relationships and strong feelings. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy and Somatic Therapy to link thoughts and bodily experience where that is helpful.

People come to Hannah with worries such as stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing life transitions, long-term health challenges, caregiver strain, sleep problems and work-related pressures. Concerns around intimacy, relationship difficulties and parenting are within her stated focus areas.

In sessions the focus is practical and down-to-earth. Hannah listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She offers exercises and moments of mindful awareness when these help a person make small, manageable changes.

Hannah works under BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through an online booking process. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments to suit their availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Hannah combines person-centred ideas with emotion-focused and mindfulness work to guide sessions. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, offering attentive listening and reflections to help people clarify what matters to them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and processing strong feelings that show up in relationships and personal life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hannah will check in about what feels helpful and adapt techniques to match a person’s needs and goals. That means trying different ways of working together and agreeing what to keep or change as therapy progresses.

The biography notes that video and audio sessions are offered on Thursdays and Fridays through an online platform. Confirm current session options and scheduling when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into work and family routines, allow quieter check-ins without travel, and offer options for people who prefer not to meet in person. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these formats to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical.
