Hanna Mallie, BACP

Hanna Mallie is an integrative counsellor who blends different therapeutic methods to meet each client's unique needs. She holds a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and a Certificate in Person-Centred Art Therapy, and she is affiliated with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Her training supports a flexible, person-focused approach that values respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Hanna has substantial hands-on experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and a range of other concerns including addictions, sleep problems, and issues related to intimacy and identity. She also works with challenges such as communication and control problems, dissociation, domestic violence, isolation, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, and self-harm, aiming to help clients develop greater understanding and practical coping strategies.

Her background includes long-term work in mental health, homelessness, domestic abuse and family support, which informs a grounded, empathetic style. Hanna adopts a holistic, non-judgmental stance and uses therapeutic tools that can include person-centred and creative elements to explore feelings, identify patterns, and build inner resources.

Clients are invited to explore thoughts and emotions at a comfortable pace, with the goal of finding clearer direction, increasing resilience, and reconnecting with personal strengths. Taking the first step can feel difficult, and Hanna offers steady support for people ready to begin that process.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathic understanding. This approach helps people who want to explore self-worth, identity, and emotional processing at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, problem-focused method that examines how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, unhelpful habits, and stress by teaching practical techniques to change thinking patterns and responses.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current relationships and emotions. It can be helpful for people interested in deeper exploration of long-standing patterns, attachment issues, and emotional conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hanna works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so the work feels relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists, especially for those balancing work, family, or mobility constraints.
