About Hannah
Hannah Prentice is a BACP counsellor who provides one-to-one therapy in the United Kingdom. She aims to create a warm, accepting space where people can untangle their feelings and take practical steps forward. Hannah describes her approach as non-judgemental and respectful of each person's life story and individuality.
Across ten years in the helping professions she has worked in a range of settings, including community mental health, hospital support, victim services and pregnancy counselling.
Background and approach
This variety has shaped a straightforward, people-focused way of working that values listening and understanding over labels. In sessions she encourages clients to name what is troubling them and to look at the feelings behind behaviour. Conversations are paced to suit the client, not a fixed agenda.
The aim is to reduce overwhelm and help someone feel more able to manage daily life. Hannah works with a broad set of concerns such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and stress linked to work or caregiving. She also offers support around life changes like divorce, redundancy, relocation and family loss.
Her training includes a CPCAB Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling and postgraduate study in philosophy and psychology, alongside courses in mental health awareness, victim support and dementia. Hannah asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Hannah works online
Humanistic and person-centred methods focus on each person's strengths and experience rather than a fixed set of techniques. These styles aim to build a trusting therapeutic relationship that supports clearer thinking and steadier emotions when facing grief, stress or major life change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hannah will help clients decide what feels most useful based on their goals, preferences and what comes up in early sessions. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats Hannah currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins when time is short, and remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt client-centred methods to remote sessions so the focus stays on listening, reflection and practical next steps.
