Hannah HassonBACP

Hannah Hasson is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship problems. She also works with challenges such as depression, addictions, trauma and issues around intimacy and parenting. Hannah identifies as experienced with ADHD, compassion fatigue and a range of attachment and abandonment concerns. She works in the United Kingdom and speaks English.

Hannah trained in psychology with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) from Queen's University Belfast and completed a Master of Science (MSc) in Counselling and Therapeutic Communication at Ulster University. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Hannah has about five years of practice experience and draws on that background when planning sessions.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to make the therapy room feel calm and practical. Conversations focus on what the person bringing the concern wants to change and on small, manageable steps to get there.

Hannah uses an integrative approach and commonly blends Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas. That means she adapts methods to suit the problem and the individual rather than using one fixed method for everyone.

Sessions typically include talking through current difficulties, noticing unhelpful thoughts or patterns, and trying new ways of coping. Hannah emphasises listening first, then working together on goals and coping strategies. She encourages people to bring what matters most to them into the sessions.

How Hannah’s approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person feel heard. It is useful for building confidence, improving self-esteem and talking through sensitive topics like grief or relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences shape current reactions. This approach can be helpful for people who want to understand deeper sources of relationship or attachment difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses so the work fits the person's needs.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm which online or in-person options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of practical exercises, talking and reflective work that can be adapted to remote sessions when that is an option.
