Hannah Prentice, BACP

Hannah Prentice is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered counsellor with ten years' experience. She offers one-to-one sessions aimed at helping people make sense of difficult emotions. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, and she focuses on supporting people to feel understood and accepted in the room.

Hannah works in a person-centred way, listening to each person's story and tailoring sessions to their needs. She helps people untangle feelings so strong emotions stop getting in the way of everyday life. Sessions are practical and grounded, with time to reflect and to try new ways of coping.

Her background includes work in community mental health, hospital support, advocacy in a prison setting, and counselling for pregnancy services and foodbank users. These roles inform a broad understanding of personal and social pressures that can affect wellbeing.

Hannah has a Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling (CPCAB Level 4), a BA (Hons) in Philosophy, and postgraduate studies in philosophy and psychology. She is BACP registered, which is noted as her professional credential.

People come to Hannah with many issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, stress, parenting strain and questions about life purpose. She also offers support around career difficulties, caregiver stress, loneliness, financial worries and identity concerns. Her aim is to help clients move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

How person-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. It involves a counsellor reflecting what the client says, offering acceptance and gently guiding conversations about feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship questions and life changes.

Hannah also draws on humanistic and existential ideas that invite people to reflect on meaning, purpose and the choices they face. These approaches support people feeling stuck, coping with loss, or exploring major life decisions by creating space to talk and think things through.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will collaborate with the client to find what fits best. This helps ensure sessions focus on the things the client most wants to change or understand.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who find video tiring by offering alternatives that better match everyday life.
