Hannah Light, BACP

Hannah Light is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. She draws on person-focused listening to help people notice what matters most to them. Hannah presents a calm, attentive approach and encourages clients to speak honestly about what they are feeling and needing right now.

She blends emotionally-focused work with mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people connect body and emotion. That can mean pausing to notice physical sensations, naming feelings, and tracking how patterns show up in everyday life. This approach is often used with stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and with people managing long-term health or caregiving challenges.

Hannah has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She draws on that background when helping people adjust to life changes, cope with chronic pain or illness, and manage compassion fatigue. She also supports work on self-esteem, relationship strains and parenting concerns.

In sessions Hannah aims to make space for honest, heart-centred conversation. She listens without judgement and works at the client’s pace. Practical moments may include soothing grounding practices, emotion-focused conversations, and finding small changes that fit daily life.

To begin, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Hannah works in English and sees people in the United Kingdom.

How Hannah’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding through honest conversation. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to think things through and be heard without judgement. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on recognising and naming emotions in the moment and understanding patterns in relationships, which can help with grief, intimacy struggles and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try things and adjust the focus if needed, aiming to find methods that match daily life and personal values.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and the option to avoid being on camera if that feels better. These practical benefits help many people maintain continuity of care while working around work, health or caregiving duties.
