About Hannah
Counsellor and BACP member with 10 years' experience, Hannah Dickinson helps people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and bipolar disorder among other matters.
Hannah works from a counselling perspective that keeps the person central. She listens to what is happening now and how the past affects current choices. Sessions look at feelings, thoughts and behaviours to help people cope better day to day.
Her approach draws on client-centred principles and psychodynamic ideas combined with trauma-focused work. That means some sessions concentrate on immediate coping and practical steps. Other times they look at patterns that began earlier in life and still influence relationships and mood.
Hannah has worked across a range of presenting concerns including addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and career or life-change questions. She also supports people with ADHD, autism and issues such as abandonment, body image and communication difficulties.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens and reflects, helping someone to clarify their own thoughts and choices. This approach can be useful when stress, anxiety or relationship questions feel overwhelming.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that began earlier in life and still affect how someone reacts now. Talking about recurring relationship themes or strong emotional responses can make them easier to recognise and manage. This can help with issues such as attachment, midlife concerns or repeating cycles in relationships.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past traumatic events and on ways to reduce their impact on day-to-day life. Sessions attend to safety, grounding and techniques that support coping with intrusive memories or flashbacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and current difficulties and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on immediate coping skills, patterns from the past, or trauma-focused techniques.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a working week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep therapy going alongside everyday commitments.
