About Hannah
Hannah Dickinson helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood changes and relationship concerns using a client-centred style and psychodynamic ideas. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years of professional experience.
Hannah works in straightforward, conversational sessions. She listens to what matters most to each person and builds sessions around those priorities. Practical coping strategies may sit alongside looking at early patterns and recurring relationship themes that affect current life.
Her experience includes supporting people with depression, bipolar-related challenges, addictions, ADHD and issues around sexuality and identity. She also works with eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career questions and problems linked to parenting and family life. Specific concerns listed in her practice include abandonment, communication problems and infidelity.
Hannah uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect daily functioning. This involves talking through the impact of those events and finding ways to reduce distressing symptoms. She combines this with psychodynamic exploration to better understand long-standing patterns that influence mood and behaviour.
Sessions aim to be practical and reflective. Hannah offers coaching elements for life changes alongside counselling for deeper emotional themes. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, the process asks for a short matching questionnaire and then a first session is scheduled through the online platform.
How Hannah's approaches translate to online work
Hannah uses client-centred counselling, which focuses on the person's own goals and priorities and involves listening and reflecting to help people shape their next steps. Psychodynamic work examines recurring relationship patterns and early experiences that continue to influence feelings and behaviour, helping people understand why they respond in certain ways.
Trauma-focused therapy addresses the ongoing effects of distressing events by talking through their impact and developing practical ways to reduce distressing symptoms. Each approach looks different in practice, and Hannah will work collaboratively with the client to decide which methods best fit their needs and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time that would otherwise be needed. Hannah will help agree how sessions run, review what is most helpful, and adjust the approach as the work progresses.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
