About Hannah
Hannah Light uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person at the heart of therapy. She focuses on listening, understanding and helping people feel heard. Hannah meets people where they are and helps them find direction and ways to cope with intense feelings.
Hannah brings seven years of professional experience and a BACP credential, which shows adherence to a recognised professional body. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety and depression.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her approach can include emotionally-focused methods to look at attachments and patterns in close relationships. She also draws on mindfulness to help with overwhelming thoughts and somatic techniques to notice how emotions appear in the body.
These are used to help people manage symptoms and rebuild a sense of balance. Hannah also works with practical life issues such as parenting strains, career transitions and caring responsibilities. She helps people facing chronic illness, bereavement, end-of-life concerns and the stresses of caregiving.
Sessions aim to make difficult problems easier to carry and clearer to act on. People describing a need for understanding around anger, sleep problems, body image or ADHD may find a straightforward, listening-based approach helpful. Hannah encourages clients to connect with their own values and to try small, realistic steps that fit into everyday life.

Approaches Hannah lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right way of working is part of therapy. Hannah will talk with each person about their needs and hopes and decide together which methods to try. She treats this as a collaborative process and adapts the approach as progress and feedback emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and for working with body cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and try different formats as their needs change.
