Hannah Wood, BACP

Hannah Wood is a UK-based counsellor with eight years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma and abuse, and challenges around self-esteem and motivation. Hannah aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful of the courage it takes to seek help.

Hannah creates a calm and non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on helping clients name what is happening for them and on practical steps to reduce distress. She listens for patterns that keep problems alive and supports small changes that can lead to steadier days.

She also helps people facing communication problems, guilt and shame, struggles with forgiveness, and learning self-love. Work may include exploring how past events affect current choices and finding kinder ways to relate to oneself. Hannah matches the pace of therapy to each person's needs and priorities.

Sessions aim to build skills for managing anxiety and low mood, and to increase confidence in everyday situations. Hannah asks about what matters most to the client and sets clear, realistic goals together. This practical, person-focused approach helps people feel more in control of their next steps.

People can expect straightforward conversation, clear explanations of the options, and encouragement to try techniques between sessions. Hannah supports international clients and runs appointments from the United Kingdom.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Hannah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, low mood and the impact of past harm. One approach focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms; it helps people respond to worries with more balanced thinking. Another approach emphasises grounding and emotion-regulation skills that support calmer responses after trauma or distress; this can help reduce overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. Hannah will talk with the client about their concerns, goals and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of remote work can include fitting sessions around work or family routines and shortening travel time. If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep momentum between appointments and to practise techniques in real life.
