About Hannah

Counsellor and BACP member Hannah Hasson has five years' experience working with mental health concerns in the United Kingdom. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse among the issues she supports. Hannah also notes work around ADHD, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting stress and LGBT concerns.

Hannah trained in psychology and counselling. Her background includes a BSc in Psychology from Queen's University Belfast and an MSc in Counselling and Therapeutic Communication from Ulster University. She describes using an integrative approach and draws on several ways of working to suit different needs.

Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now and what each person wants to change. She commonly uses client-centred methods to listen and build understanding, cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic thinking to consider longer-standing patterns.

Hannah also works with trauma-focused ideas when trauma or abuse is part of the picture. Mindfulness techniques are used at times to help manage stress and anxiety. She aims to be clear about which approaches are being used and why.

Practical steps are simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and Hannah does not take international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Hannah commonly uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused methods in her practice. Client-centred work means the counsellor listens and reflects what matters to the client, helping them make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and is often used for anxiety and low mood. Trauma-focused approaches aim to address the effects of past harm and help with trauma-related symptoms.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Hannah will talk about options and try methods that fit the person's goals and preferences. The aim is to find ways of working that feel useful rather than to follow a single method from the start.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy day because they avoid travel and can be scheduled around work or family time. Other practical benefits can include shorter check-ins when needed, or choosing sessions that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will work best for each situation and adapt the approach to suit everyday life.
