About Hannah
Hannah Light uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person at the heart of therapy. She focuses on helping people notice how thoughts, feelings and bodily experiences connect. Hannah aims to create a calm, attentive atmosphere where people can talk about what matters to them and explore changes at their own pace.
Hannah draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how emotions shape reactions. She also uses mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people learn to be present and to notice physical signals that relate to stress or grief.
Background and approach
This combination supports work on anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems and parenting stress. Additional focus areas include chronic illness and pain, end-of-life and hospice counselling, career and caregiver strain, body image and feelings of isolation.
Hannah also works with people concerned about ADHD, compassion fatigue, anger and forgiveness. Hannah has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English.

How Hannah works online
Mindfulness work is used to build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations. Simple mindfulness exercises can help with anxiety, sleep problems and managing grief. Somatic ideas are sometimes woven in to help people notice how tension shows up in the body and to develop practical ways to calm or regulate those responses.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This shared process aims to find methods that fit the person's goals and day-to-day life.
Details about the exact online session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered and accredited professionals commonly use online sessions to support ongoing therapy while remaining flexible around everyday commitments.
