Hannah Light, BACP

Hannah Light uses a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of therapy. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where attention, listening and acceptance are central. Hannah works in a way that invites people to notice their thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations as they look for change.

She brings seven years of professional experience and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. In sessions Hannah often blends client-centred ways of working with emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness practices. This can mean gentle tracking of feelings, learning simple grounding techniques, and naming the patterns that get in the way of change.

Hannah commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps those coping with grief, life transitions, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Practical issues such as sleep difficulties, parenting stress, career strain and anger are included in her focus.

Her practice also covers longer-term and complex problems like chronic illness, caregiver stress, bereavement and end-of-life concerns. She works with issues around body image, cancer, isolation and questions of life purpose in therapy.

Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Hannah often draws on client-centred therapy and mindfulness therapy when working with people remotely. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and working at the client’s pace to help them feel heard and understood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple skills to notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations so people can respond with more clarity rather than react on impulse.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Hannah will work collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That means checking in together, adapting techniques, and trying different ways of working until the best fit becomes clear.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or enabling audio-only sessions when camera use is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to help people manage stress, grief, anxiety and physical tension in ways that fit day-to-day routines.
