Hannah Light works from a person-centred approach that keeps the client at the heart of each session. She uses calm, attentive listening to help people name what matters to them and to find practical ways forward. Hannah is a BACP counsellor with seven years of experience in the UK.

She helps with anxiety, stress and low mood, and supports people facing grief and major life changes. Hannah also works with relationship strain, intimacy worries, parenting stress and sleep difficulties.

Background and approach

Other areas she focuses on include chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image and career concerns. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Hannah encourages people to notice how thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations connect.

She draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people regulate strong emotions and build steady routines. Her emotionally-focused work helps people clarify what they need in close relationships and practise new ways of relating. The client-centred stance means Hannah follows the person’s lead while offering gentle reflection and structure where helpful.

Practical steps are part of the process. Hannah and the client agree small, realistic actions between sessions to test new behaviours and reduce overwhelm. She aims to make therapy straightforward, warm and usable in day-to-day life.

How Hannah's approaches work online

Hannah combines a person-centred stance with emotionally-focused and mindfulness practices to help people make changes. Client-Centred Therapy means sessions follow the person's pace and priorities while the counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection to help clarify what matters. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name core emotions in relationships and practise new ways of connecting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxious thinking and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hannah treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will adapt techniques to suit each person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try first and review what helps over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video is helpful when visual connection matters, phone can work well for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and messaging suits quick reflections or when note-style support is preferred. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping the focus on achievable, real-life steps.
