About Hannah
BACP. 10 years' counselling experience. Hannah Dickinson works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar and depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, self‑esteem and identity concerns, and a wide range of other personal challenges.
Hannah uses client‑centred methods to keep the focus on the person's experience. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that affect present feelings and behaviours. Trauma‑focused techniques are used when past harm is a central concern.
Sessions are presented as a respectful conversation where the counsellor listens and responds to what matters to the client. Hannah aims to be direct and clear about the issues she notices, and to help people name feelings and make practical changes. The work can include talking about difficult events, looking at relationship patterns, and building everyday coping skills.
Her background includes ten years working in counselling roles across the United Kingdom. That experience has involved supporting people with parenting strains, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, career shifts, grief, and challenges connected to neurodiversity and sexual identity.
Hannah notes that starting counselling can feel daunting. She asks people to complete a short questionnaire before a first session, then schedules an initial meeting to discuss goals and what will work in practical terms. She explains costs vary with location and that sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client‑centred counselling focuses on the person's own concerns and experiences. The counsellor listens without judgement and responds to what matters most, helping people clarify goals and make practical changes. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns in feelings and relationships that often come from earlier life events; it can help when recurring behaviours or strong feelings are hard to understand. Trauma‑focused approaches target the effects of past harm and aim to reduce the way those memories and reactions shape daily life.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Hannah will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and suggest what to try first. The choice is collaborative and can change as the sessions progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit sessions into a busy week, makes it easier to attend from different locations, and allows for shorter or longer check‑ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals generally use this flexibility to match the pace and timing of sessions to each person's life and goals.
