About Hannah
Hannah Prentice works on self-esteem, career issues, depression, anxiety and life changes using a client-centred approach. She is a BACP member with ten years' experience and offers one-to-one counselling in the United Kingdom.
Hannah uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and understanding what matters to each person. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people make sense of their feelings. She pays attention to life events such as redundancy, relationship endings and other transitions that can cause stress and low mood.
Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Philosophy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Continental Philosophy, plus a CPCAB Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling. She has worked in a range of settings, including community mental health support, hospital wards and specialist organisations supporting pregnancy issues, victims of crime and foodbank users.
Hannah has experience supporting people with grief, parenting pressures, carer stress, anger, loneliness and issues linked to identity, including LGBTQ+ concerns and gender dysphoria. She also works with practical problems such as money worries, career decisions and the emotional impact of health conditions.
In sessions she aims to treat each person as an individual and to help them untangle feelings that feel overwhelming. The counselling style emphasises acceptance and careful listening so people can consider next steps and cope better with everyday demands.
How client-centred counselling translates to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to each person. It involves reflective listening, open questions and following the client’s concerns, which can help with low mood, self-worth and life transitions.
Humanistic or person-centred approaches place the person's experience at the heart of counselling. The counsellor aims to accept and understand rather than direct, so the client can make sense of feelings and consider choices about work, relationships or identity.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative discussion that can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quick check-in when circumstances are tight. Some formats use less bandwidth or are shorter, which can help when a full session is not possible. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt session style and length to practical needs while maintaining therapeutic focus.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
