About Hannah
Hannah Prentice is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience offering one-to-one support. She provides a calm and accepting space for people to talk about what feels hard. Hannah focuses on practical steps so emotions feel less overwhelming and life becomes more manageable again.
Hannah uses a person-centred style that places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. She listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build self-understanding and self-compassion so clients can find clearer options for next steps. Her work often addresses parenting worries, career stress, low self-esteem and relationship struggles. She also supports people dealing with grief, anxiety, depression and life changes.
Additional focus includes carer stress, separation and finding life purpose. Hannah has experience across community and clinical settings, including foodbank counselling, pregnancy support services, hospital wards and advocacy work in prison settings. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to everyday problems and complex life events.
Clients can expect a steady, focused listener who values each person's story. Hannah draws on her academic studies in philosophy and psychology alongside vocational counselling training. She brings that mix to sessions when helping people untangle difficult feelings and plan realistic steps forward.

Approaches Hannah lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Client-centred support online and how it helps
Hannah works primarily through client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the client's feelings and personal experience. The therapist listens closely and reflects back what she hears to help people understand themselves better and make their own choices. This approach can help with issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries, parenting stress and grief.She also draws on humanistic and existential ideas when useful, encouraging people to consider meaning, values and life direction. These perspectives can help when someone feels stuck, faces big life changes or wants clearer sense of purpose. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work - Hannah will discuss options and agree a plan with each person based on their goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins or when writing things out feels easier. These options aim to offer flexibility so people can choose what fits their life and needs.
