About Hannah

Hannah Light works on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and life changes using a blend of talking and body-focused approaches. She practises client-centred work alongside Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness and somatic methods. Hannah is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of experience in the sector.

Hannah frames her work around the connection between mind and body. Sessions may include talking, noticing bodily sensations, and simple mindfulness practices. She aims to help people pay attention to what feels important and work out manageable next steps for everyday life.

She commonly supports people facing relationship strain, bereavement, low mood, stress at home or work, parenting pressures, and difficulties with intimacy. Hannah also works with long-term health issues, chronic pain, cancer-related concerns, and caregiver stress. She includes attention to guilt, shame, and identity when these come up.

In practice she follows client-centred principles, which means she listens and reflects rather than directing the process. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when attachment patterns and emotional responses are central to the problem. Mindfulness and somatic techniques are used to help people notice and manage feelings in the body.

Sessions aim to be practical and readable. Hannah encourages small, achievable changes and uses grounding and breath-based exercises where helpful. People are invited to bring whatever feels relevant, whether that is feelings, memories, practical worries or physical sensations.

How Hannah uses therapy methods in online sessions

Hannah works with client-centred ways of counselling which focus on listening, reflection and supporting the person to lead the pace of change. This approach helps with issues such as low mood, self-esteem and general life stress by prioritising what matters to the individual.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to focus on emotional patterns and attachment-related difficulties. EFT techniques are useful when relationship strain, intimacy issues or repeated emotional reactions are a core concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and practical needs and agree an approach that suits them. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.

The biography records that Hannah offers video and audio sessions on Thursdays and Fridays via an online platform, so please check current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when small adjustments are needed around work or caring responsibilities.
