About Hanna
Hanna Mallie is a counsellor with a BACP membership and seven years of counselling experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Hanna uses straightforward, respectful language and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Hanna combines person-centred ideas with practical problem-focused techniques. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual - feelings, relationships, habits and steps that help day-to-day life.
How Hanna works
She pays attention to safety, boundaries and the impact of past experiences on present choices. Her background includes many years working in mental health, homelessness and domestic abuse services. That practical experience informs how she talks through crises, grieving, self-worth and recovery from sexual assault or other abuse.
Hanna aims to help people notice resources they already have and find small ways to use them. In therapy she balances listening with gentle challenge. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to uncover unhelpful thinking and solution-focused tools to set immediate goals.
Psychodynamic thinking helps look at patterns that repeat over time. Hanna works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, intimacy-related issues, obsessive behaviours, bipolar mood concerns, anger and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with life changes, work stress, sleeping problems and relationship difficulties.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video, phone or messaging. Hanna aims to create a steady, practical space where people can talk through painful experiences and plan realistic next steps.

How Hanna's Approaches Work Online
Hanna uses client-centred work to create a listening space where the person leads the conversation and their concerns guide the focus. This approach helps when someone needs attendantship, being heard and support to explore feelings without pressure.She also applies cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleeping issues and compulsive behaviours because it breaks problems into clear steps and experiments to test different ways of coping.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Hanna will talk through different styles with the person and agree what feels right based on goals, preferences and what they want to try. Plans can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls help keep face-to-face contact when needed; phone can be a quicker check-in or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and day-to-day life.
