About Hannah
Hannah Dickinson uses a person-centred approach at the heart of her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and mood conditions such as bipolar. Hannah aims to create a calm, respectful space so people can talk about what matters most to them.
She has a decade of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Over the years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.
How Hannah works
She also offers support around sleep, eating, parenting pressures and career change. Hannah combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas about how past patterns affect present life. She also draws on trauma-focused methods to help people who have experienced distressing events.
Sessions focus on understanding patterns, developing coping strategies and building practical steps forward. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, body image and communication problems. She can also work with issues such as hoarding, infidelity, guilt and shame, and midlife questions about purpose and direction.
Hannah offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She explains BACP as the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. The first session is an opportunity to set goals and decide a plan that fits each person’s needs.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgement. It helps people who want a supportive space to talk things through and to set their own goals.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and time. It can help when someone wants to understand why certain feelings or behaviours keep returning and how past experiences shape the present.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the impact of distressing events and building coping skills. It is aimed at people who carry strong emotional reactions after upsetting experiences and want structured ways to process those memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hannah will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She will adjust the plan as understanding grows and as priorities change.
Online formats make it practical to keep therapy in your life. Video calls offer face-to-face contact; phone sessions suit people who prefer no camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and flexible conversations during busy weeks. These options help people attend sessions from different locations, manage time around work or family, and choose the style that feels most comfortable.
