About Hannah
Hannah Wood is a counsellor who has practised in the United Kingdom for eight years and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and low mood, as well as those affected by trauma and abuse. Hannah also supports people managing ADHD and challenges with self-esteem and confidence.
Her style is straightforward and warm. Hannah aims to create a calm space where people can say what they really feel without fear of judgement.
How Hannah works
She encourages small, practical steps so progress feels manageable. Hannah listens for the concrete problems behind the worry. She works with clients to identify patterns that cause stress or low mood and then tries out new ways of responding.
Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change in everyday life. She pays attention to issues around communication, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and building self-love. These are woven into sessions when relevant to a person's goals.
Hannah uses questions, reflection and practical tasks between sessions to help people practise different responses. Signing up for therapy is framed as a collaborative process. Hannah helps people set clear goals and reviews progress together.
She understands the first steps can feel hard and offers steady, respectful support along the way.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Hannah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is working on thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood by identifying unhelpful patterns and trying new responses in daily life. This helps with stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms by giving straightforward tools to use between sessions.Another approach involves trauma-informed listening and pacing. This means Hannah pays attention to how past harm affects current reactions and moves at a pace that feels manageable. It supports people dealing with trauma, shame or guilt by emphasising safety and control over the pace of work.
Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose and adapt approaches based on goals, preferences and how someone responds. Changes are reviewed together so the plan can be adjusted if needed.
Online sessions can take different forms - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and easier to fit into a break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to arrange around work, family and travel.
