About Hannah

Hannah Prentice is a BACP registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She helps people who are facing low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, career uncertainty and life changes. Hannah also works with issues such as grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and questions about life purpose.

Her approach is grounded in person-centred practice. Sessions focus on what the client brings and on understanding feelings rather than applying labels. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person, so difficult emotions can be looked at without being rushed.

Hannah has varied experience across community and clinical settings. Her background includes working in hospital support roles, community mental health teams, foodbank counselling and prison advocacy. These roles have informed how she listens to practical pressures as well as emotional concerns.

She combines humanistic and existential perspectives to help people who feel stuck or uncertain about next steps. That means talking about values, choices and everyday realities like work, money and caring responsibilities. Sessions are intended to help people think clearly about options and how they want to move forward.

Hannah trained through recognised counselling pathways and holds a BACP registration along with vocational and academic qualifications in counselling and philosophy. She also has training in bereavement support, mental health awareness and carer support. Her work often includes practical problem discussion alongside emotional reflection.

How Hannah's approaches translate to online work

Hannah practises person-centred therapy which places the client's experience at the centre of sessions. This approach involves listening carefully, reflecting what the client says and following their concerns; it is commonly used for issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, grief and relationship stress.

She also draws on existential ideas that look at meaning, choice and feelings of being stuck. That work involves discussing values, life priorities and practical trade-offs when people are facing career changes, separation or uncertainty about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hannah will work collaboratively to decide whether person-centred or more existential discussion best fits a client's goals. She checks in about how each session feels and adapts the focus over time based on needs and preferences.

Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins that suit working lives. They can also allow shorter phone or video conversations when someone needs a brief check-in rather than a longer session.
