About Hanna

Hanna Mallie helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression using a range of counselling approaches. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience in therapeutic practice.

Hanna uses person-centred ideas alongside cognitive and psychodynamic methods. She listens to each person's concerns and helps them talk through feelings and reactions. Sessions focus on developing understanding, practical coping strategies and small changes that make everyday life easier.

Her background includes long experience in mental health, homelessness and domestic abuse services. That work involved offering emotional and practical support, and it informs how she responds to complex life issues now.

Hanna works with a wide range of concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep problems, addictions and compassion fatigue. She also helps with communication and control issues, obsessive thoughts and behaviours, dissociation and the impact of sexual assault and abuse.

In sessions she draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. The focus is on clear, manageable steps and on understanding patterns that keep problems going.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her counselling approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people reflect on their own thoughts and feelings; it can help with low self-esteem, relationship concerns and emotional recovery. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood. Psychodynamic Therapy examines how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships and can be helpful for recurring patterns and deeper emotional issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will agree a plan that can be adjusted as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process and the focus may shift as needs change.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting work or family commitments around counselling, reducing travel time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. Practical benefits include being able to schedule appointments more flexibly and keeping therapy consistent even when daily routines change.
