Hannah Dickinson is a counsellor who uses a warm, person-focused style to help people through hard times. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and bipolar difficulties, and issues around self-esteem and addiction. Hannah is a BACP counsellor with ten years of practice in the United Kingdom and she offers sessions in English for clients at home or abroad.

Her approach starts by listening closely. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to understand what matters to each person and to build trust.

Background and approach

That helps people feel understood before any practical steps are taken. Hannah also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and choices. This can be useful for concerns such as commitment issues, communication problems, and the sense that past hurts keep influencing the present.

For those affected by trauma, she uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of traumatic experiences and the ways they affect day-to-day life. Sessions aim to reduce the hold of painful memories and to increase coping skills. Her work covers a wide range of topics, including parenting strain, intimacy-related worries, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career change, ADHD, and life transitions.

Hannah tailors sessions to each person and helps them set realistic goals. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

How Hannah's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps clients set their own goals. This approach supports issues like anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns by building understanding and confidence.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape present reactions. It can help with commitment issues, communication problems and feelings that seem to repeat across different relationships by making those patterns clearer.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and on developing ways to manage their impact. It aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and improve day-to-day coping strategies for those affected by abuse or other trauma.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hannah will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use. That means plans can change as understanding deepens over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls bring a face-to-face feel for deeper conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while working with registered or accredited professionals.
