About Hannah
Hannah Wood is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has eight years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and ADHD.
She focuses on helping people talk through what is troubling them. Sessions cover everyday pressures, worry, past painful experiences and struggles with motivation and confidence. Hannah offers practical conversation and steady support as people work out next steps for themselves.
Her approach is straightforward. She encourages open discussion about feelings and thoughts. That helps people make clearer choices about how to cope and move forward.
Hannah pays attention to communication problems and issues such as guilt, shame, forgiveness and self-love. These themes often come up alongside anxiety, depression or trauma, and she helps people explore them in session.
People can expect calm, direct conversations that look at what is happening now and what might help next. Hannah aims to make sessions easy to follow, with clear discussion of goals and simple steps to try between meetings.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Hannah draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily coping. One common approach she uses focuses on talking through current thoughts and behaviours to spot patterns that keep problems running. This helps with anxiety, low mood and motivation by identifying small changes to try between sessions. Another approach involves working through the impact of traumatic experiences in a paced way. Sessions look at how past events affect current feelings and behaviour, and at practical steps to regain a sense of control and safety in everyday life. Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Hannah will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest options together. This makes choosing an approach a shared decision rather than a one-size-fits-all choice. For practical online arrangements, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family life and can reduce travel time. Different formats also suit different practical needs - for example, shorter phone check-ins can fit a busy day, while video sessions allow visual contact when preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format may work best for individual circumstances.Areas of expertise
