Background and approach

Hannah aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and reflect on what matters to them. She draws on client-centred work to prioritise the client’s perspective and emotional experience. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when emotions are intense or when relationship and intimacy concerns arise.

Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and lessen worrying cycles. Hannah also integrates somatic methods to notice how stress and grief show up in the body. This can help with sleep problems, chronic pain, and carrying tension related to trauma.

She uses simple exercises in-session and practical suggestions to try between meetings. People come for a range of issues including grief, low self-esteem, depression, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Hannah supports work on major life changes, end-of-life concerns and family troubles through steady, attentive listening.

Sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Approaches that fit online therapy

Hannah uses client-centred work to keep the focus on the person and their goals. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what someone says and helping them find their own solutions. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood and life changes where a steady, empathetic presence matters.

She also brings in Mindfulness Therapy to help reduce unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness involves short attention exercises and breathing practices to calm racing thoughts and improve sleep and focus. These techniques can be practised during video sessions and between meetings to build everyday habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hannah collaborates with each person to see which methods feel helpful and adapts the work as needs and goals evolve. Clients are invited to give feedback and test different tools so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and gentle guided exercises. Phone sessions can be useful if internet bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging offer flexibility for brief updates or when writing feels easier. These choices make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs.
