About Hannah

Hannah Wood helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD. She works by encouraging people to talk about their thoughts and feelings in a straightforward way. Hannah is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she has eight years of professional experience.

Hannah's approach is conversational and practical. She will listen first, and then suggest ways to manage difficult feelings. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening day to day and on building small, usable skills to cope with stress and anxiety.

She pays attention to relationships and communication, and often addresses issues such as forgiveness, guilt, shame and self-love. Hannah helps people notice patterns that keep them feeling stuck and try alternative ways of responding. She uses clear explanations rather than technical language.

Hannah works at a pace set by the person in front of her. She aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking concerns into manageable steps. Practical techniques and reflective conversation are mixed according to what the client needs.

People who come to Hannah can expect short-term work to address a specific problem or longer-term support for deeper issues. Sessions are planned together, with goals that are reviewed as therapy progresses. This makes it easier to see what is changing and what still needs attention.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Hannah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is behavioural work, which looks at everyday actions and helps people try new ways of coping; this can be useful for anxiety, low mood and building routine. Another approach involves exploring thoughts and feelings in a structured way to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns and improve self-esteem and motivation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hannah discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as they learn what helps. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tested and reviewed together to find what fits best.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing appointments between work or family commitments. Because the biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm current options before booking. In general, online work helps keep contact regular and makes it straightforward to continue progress when life gets busy, while allowing practical adjustments such as shorter check-ins or sessions without video when needed.
