About Hannah

Hannah Prentice offers one-to-one counselling from a human-centred perspective. She is a BACP counsellor and brings ten years of experience supporting people through difficult emotions. Hannah aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk and make sense of what they are feeling.

Her sessions focus on helping people feel heard and valued. She listens to each person's story and responds with warmth and practical empathy. Conversations are paced to match the client's needs, whether that means working through grief, stress, anxiety or low self-esteem.

How Hannah works

Hannah uses person-centred approaches that place the client at the heart of the process. She helps people untangle confusing feelings and make choices that feel more manageable. This can be useful for those facing life changes, career uncertainty, relationship strain or feelings of emptiness.

Her background includes work in community mental health, hospital support, victim services and counselling at pregnancy advice centres and foodbank projects. Those roles have given her experience with bereavement, trauma-related distress and practical life pressures such as debt and redundancy. Hannah also works with issues like caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and the emotional impact of long-term illness.

She supports people exploring identity and LGBT concerns, and helps with parenting-related strain. Sessions combine attentive listening with gentle guidance aimed at clearer direction and greater self-understanding.

Online support options

How person-centred counselling works online

Hannah practices client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The counsellor offers genuine acceptance and reflective listening so clients can explore feelings like anxiety, shame or grief and find their own solutions.

Her humanistic approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions aim to help people gain clarity about choices, life purpose and relationships by reflecting back what is said and encouraging self-discovery. This style is helpful for issues such as depression, stress, career uncertainty and caregiver strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Hannah works collaboratively with each person to decide what feels most useful, adjusting the pace and focus as needs and goals become clearer. Together they agree on priorities and ways to measure progress.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works for shorter check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and geographic distance.
