About Hannah
Hannah Dickinson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, trauma and abuse, and problems around relationships and family life, including blended family issues.
She uses straightforward talking therapy. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress now and what patterns might be keeping it going. Hannah combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas about past influences and trauma-focused work when needed.
People come to Hannah for help with confidence, managing strong emotions, sleep and eating concerns, addictions, and issues linked to sexuality and identity. She also supports those facing life transitions such as career change, midlife shifts, separation and parenting strains. Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking about relationships are common themes.
Hannah aims to make the work clear and manageable. She and the person she is working with set goals together and review progress as they go. Sessions are paced to suit whatever someone can manage while they balance home and work life.
Her approach is direct and conversational. She listens for recurring patterns and invites reflection about how past experience affects current choices. Over time people often gain more emotional control and practical ways to handle conflict or stressful situations.
Approaches you might meet in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s concerns at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people clarify what matters to them and what they want to change. This approach is useful for low mood, anxiety and relationship doubts.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeating patterns and how earlier experiences shape current behaviour. It can help when longstanding relationship problems, attachment worries or recurring conflicts are part of the issue. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and offers ways to process difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Hannah will discuss options with each person, weigh up needs and preferences, and try methods that match the goals agreed in early sessions. The approach can be adjusted as understanding grows.
