Hannah Light, BACP

Hannah Light is a UK-based therapist with 7 years of professional experience and BACP accreditation - a credential from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works from a perspective that values the alignment of mind, body, spirit, and emotions, and she brings that whole-person view into her sessions.

Hannah creates a collaborative, heart-centered space where clients are invited to listen to their own needs, connect with inner resources, and express themselves honestly. Her approach emphasizes deep listening, full presence, and nonjudgmental acceptance of where a person is now, while supporting the steps a client wants to take toward change. She aims to empower clients by encouraging self-awareness and compassionate exploration of feelings and life patterns.

Hannah offers focused support for people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma, and life transitions, among other issues. She makes time for each client's needs and is committed to providing attentive, steady support as clients work toward greater fulfillment. She offers video and audio sessions on Thursdays and Fridays to provide accessible options for ongoing work.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting the person where they are and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and supporting clients to find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for people working through life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clients identify, understand, and transform emotional responses that shape their relationships and personal patterns. It is useful for people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and attachment-related difficulties, as it encourages deeper emotional connection and clearer communication.

Somatic Therapy attends to the body as part of emotional healing, helping clients notice physical sensations, regulate stress responses, and integrate mind and body awareness. This approach can support recovery from trauma, chronic stress, and situations where emotions are held in the body.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hannah works with each client to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences, and needs, and adapts the plan as therapy unfolds so the fit evolves with the client's progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduces travel time, and allows continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can use these modalities to provide consistent, supportive therapeutic work that fits the client’s schedule and circumstances.
