About Hanna

Hanna Seely works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem and life changes, using a mix of approaches she describes as integrative. She is registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in counselling.

Hanna’s background includes nearly a decade working in the education sector. That experience shaped her interest in developmental issues and informs how she understands clients’ problems. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside talking therapies to help people make sense of patterns that cause distress.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to address. She uses person-centred ways of working to listen and to help people feel heard, and she draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that affect current relationships and feelings.

Hanna has supported people dealing with grief and loss, low mood, motivation and confidence, and challenges linked to identity and intimacy. She also works with concerns such as anger, compassion fatigue, and stress related to work or career choices.

Her approach aims to be straightforward and practical. Clients can expect to talk through immediate problems, try techniques to manage symptoms, and consider longer-term patterns that shape behaviour. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and on the client’s own goals; it is useful when someone wants a space to talk things through and to clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms such as low mood or anxiety. Psychodynamic work considers how past relationships and early experiences can shape current patterns of feeling and relating, which can help with recurring relationship or intimacy issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what the client wants to change, try different methods in session, and agree together what seems most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions without needing travel time. It also allows continuity of care when commitments or location make in-person meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to combine practical techniques and conversational work in the same meeting.
