Hannah Wood
Supportive counsellor for anxiety and trauma recovery
About Hannah
Hannah Wood is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Hannah writes plainly and aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for someone who is unsure where to start.
She creates an open, non-judgemental space so people can say what they are thinking and feeling.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person. The work often centres on understanding how past hurts affect day-to-day life and building small, practical steps forward. Hannah helps clients explore self-worth, communication problems, guilt and shame, and issues around forgiveness and self-love.
She also supports people who are managing attention-related challenges such as ADHD and the practical frustrations that can bring. Her approach balances listening with simple tools to reduce distress and boost coping. That might include checking how routines, thought patterns and sleep affect mood, then trying small changes together.
Hannah emphasises collaboration so people can shape the work to their goals. She offers sessions online and by phone, which can suit people juggling work or family life. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Hannah aims to meet each person with patience and clear next steps.

How Hannah adapts therapeutic techniques to online work
Hannah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted for online and phone sessions. She focuses on approaches that help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practise new ways of responding, and on methods that deal with the emotional impact of past trauma in manageable steps. Each approach centres on clear, step-by-step tasks people can try between meetings.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Hannah will talk through options and tailor the work to a person's current needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide whether a more skills-based focus or an exploration of past events best matches what the person wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation for people who prefer to be seen. Phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written exchanges or want ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and keep momentum in the work.
