Hannah Ilori, BACP

Hannah Ilori is a licensed psychotherapist (MSc - Master of Science) practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She supports people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, bereavement and grief, and eating-related concerns, and has worked with clients from a variety of national, cultural and religious backgrounds. She values learning about wider cultures and brings that understanding into her clinical work.

Working in a person-centered way, Hannah views the therapeutic relationship as central to change. She provides a space where clients are genuinely heard and met without judgment, offering compassion and respect so people can express their opinions, feelings and humanity in a way that is often lacking in daily life. Sessions are adapted to each person, and treatment conversations are tailored to meet individual needs and goals.

Hannah describes her practice as pluralist - she values multiple therapeutic approaches and integrates structured methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) when they are helpful alongside attachment-informed and emotionally-focused ideas. She encourages the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling life and offers practical, respectful support through that journey. Hannah holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and provides therapy in English. She is available to work with international clients.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Hannah commonly draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy alongside attachment-informed ideas. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgmental space where a person feels heard and understood - this approach is especially helpful for building self-esteem, processing emotions, and exploring relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can support people dealing with anxiety, low mood, and certain eating and stress-related concerns. Attachment-based work explores how early relationship experiences shape current connections and coping, and can be useful for addressing intimacy, trust and relational trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hannah takes a collaborative stance, working with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she integrates techniques as those needs evolve. The aim is to build a personalised plan together rather than applying a single model from the outset.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to schedule sessions around work, family or time-zone differences, and allows clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them while working with a licensed professional or therapist.
