Hannah Prentice is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience offering one-to-one therapy in the United Kingdom. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can make sense of difficult emotions. Hannah helps clients move from feeling overwhelmed towards clearer emotional balance and practical next steps.

Hannah uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the individual's experience and values. Sessions are built around listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers.

Background and approach

She places emphasis on acceptance and respect for each person's story. Her background includes work in community services, hospitals and support centres. Past roles have involved counselling in independent practice, advising people using foodbank services, supporting pregnant people and providing advocacy in a prison setting.

This range informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. Hannah regularly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also helps with grief, relationship difficulties, career and life changes, and issues connected to caregiving, separation and loneliness.

Her approach is straightforward and focused on what matters to the client now. Sessions draw on humanistic and existential ideas as well as person-centred listening. Hannah explains concepts plainly and works at a pace the client can manage.

The aim is to help people feel heard, understood and better able to make choices about their lives.

Person-centred care online and practical options

Hannah works mainly from a client-centred perspective. That means sessions focus on the person's experience and what matters most to them. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and gently helps the client name feelings and priorities. This approach suits people dealing with low self-esteem, stress, anxiety and relationship uncertainty.

She also draws on humanistic and existential ideas to support people facing life changes or questions of meaning. These ways of working encourage people to look at values, choices and what gives life purpose. They can be helpful for those dealing with grief, major transitions, or feelings of emptiness.

Choosing the right approach is something to do together. Hannah will discuss what you want to achieve and suggest ways of working that fit your goals and preferences. The working plan can be reviewed as needs change so the therapy stays relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, childcare and everyday life.
