Practical therapy focused on your goals
About Hannah
Hannah Dickinson works mainly from client-centred, psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to therapy. She is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience in the United Kingdom. Hannah aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward for people who are anxious or unsure about seeking help.
She helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties and trauma or abuse. Hannah also supports those facing relationship and intimacy challenges, issues around self-esteem, addictions and eating or sleeping problems.
Background and approach
Her work extends to career worries, coping with life changes and ADHD-related struggles. Hannah uses client-centred ways of working to build a respectful and non-judgemental space. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns and how past experiences shape present feelings.
Trauma-focused methods are offered when people need direct help processing upsetting events. Sessions are adapted to the person rather than following a set formula. Hannah explains options, listens to what matters most, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
This practical approach aims to make therapy feel useful from early on. People come for a range of concerns such as parenting strain, family problems, hoarding, infidelity, substance use, or questions about life purpose. Hannah works with these topics in straightforward language and with sensitivity to each person’s situation.

How Hannah’s approaches work online
Hannah uses client-centred therapy to place the person’s concerns at the heart of each session. This means the counsellor listens carefully, follows what matters to the client, and helps them set goals and decide the pace of work. Psychodynamic therapy is used to look at recurring patterns and connections between past experiences and present feelings, which can help when someone wants to understand long-standing difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hannah discusses options with each person and together they decide what feels most helpful. She adapts methods as the work progresses so the plan reflects the client's needs, goals and preferences.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or travel make in-person meetings hard. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging provide brief, flexible contact that can fit around work or family commitments. These formats aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent and accessible while working with the chosen therapeutic approach.
