About Hannah

Hannah Hasson works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and grief-related concerns using an integrative approach that adapts to each person’s needs. She is a BACP member and has five years' experience working in mental health settings.

Hannah draws on person-centred methods to focus on what matters to the client. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to help people understand long-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-view.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Hannah aims to help people speak through painful experiences, notice unhelpful patterns, and practise different ways of responding. She offers straightforward exercises and reflective discussion to support change.

Her background includes a BSc in Psychology from Queen's University Belfast and an MSc in Counselling and Therapeutic Communication from Ulster University. The MSc is described as postgraduate training in counselling and therapeutic communication that informed her clinical approach.

Hannah has worked with a wide range of concerns including self-harm thoughts, grief, intimacy issues, eating and body image, addiction and ADHD-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, abandonment and attachment issues.

People looking for short-term practical work or deeper, longer-term exploration may both find a clear agenda in sessions. To start, Hannah asks clients to outline goals so the approach can be matched to their needs.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Hannah commonly works with client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy. Client-centred work focuses on the client’s concerns and priorities, encouraging clearer self-understanding and practical steps chosen by the client. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns and ease symptoms.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas when it is useful to explore past patterns that affect current relationships and self-esteem. That approach involves reflecting on recurring themes in a person’s life to increase awareness and make lasting changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Hannah discusses goals and preferences with each client and jointly decides which methods to use and when to adapt them, so work remains relevant and practical.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments and offering options that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs.
