About Hanna
Hanna Seely is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She also supports those dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, parenting pressures and issues linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue. Hanna lists codependency among her additional focuses and will work with people concerned about attachment and abandonment patterns.
She trained as an integrative counsellor and holds the NCPS credential. NCPS stands for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Hanna has three years of professional experience and nearly a decade of work in the education sector, which shapes how she supports developmental and life-stage challenges.
Sessions are shaped around the person in the room. She mixes person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas, tailoring sessions to what each person needs. In practice this means gentle exploration of emotions, practical strategies for anxious thinking, and noticing relationship patterns that repeat.
Hanna aims to create a respectful and compassionate space. She encourages small, realistic steps and clear goals when that feels useful. People often work on managing overwhelming feelings, improving communication, or rebuilding confidence.
If someone is unsure what to expect, Hanna usually starts by talking about immediate concerns and practical goals. From there she and the person agree how to proceed, adjusting methods as progress is made.
How Hanna’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and on building the relationship with the counsellor. It helps when someone needs acceptance, space to talk and to feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises and simple strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring emotional patterns and past experiences that shape current reactions, which can help with relationship patterns and persistent feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hanna will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process, and the plan can change as needs evolve.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering an option that doesn't require video. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to support people who need flexibility while they pursue practical goals and emotional change.
