Background and approach

Conversations can cover mood changes, sleep or eating difficulties, and issues such as addictions or relationship strain. Her approach also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. That can help when someone wants to understand why they react in certain ways.

When trauma is part of the story, she uses trauma-focused methods to work through distress at a pace that suits the client. Hannah has worked across a range of concerns including bipolar, anger, parenting pressures, career stress and questions about identity. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, body image, infidelity and midlife change.

Sessions aim to be practical and emotionally steady rather than rushed. People meet Hannah online by video or phone, or through live chat and text messaging. She helps people set goals and reviews progress as therapy continues.

The focus is on building coping skills, improving communication, and finding clearer steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. Online, this means the counsellor follows the person's lead and helps them name what matters most and what they want to change.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and past influences that shape current reactions. Working remotely can make it easier to reflect on recurring themes in a person's life and discuss how those patterns show up now.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to process distress linked to past harm without rushing the person. In online sessions the therapist breaks work into manageable steps and checks in regularly to adjust pace and methods.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps ensure the work suits the person's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy lives and to try different ways of connecting.
