About Hanna

Hanna Mallie is a BACP-registered counsellor with seven years of clinical practice. She draws on client-centred principles to make sessions feel respectful and person-focused. Hanna speaks plainly and meets people where they are when anxiety, depression or difficult life events feel overwhelming.

She uses what a person brings into the room to guide work, helping clients notice patterns and make small changes that matter. Hanna also integrates cognitive behavioural ideas to help with unhelpful thinking and practical coping steps. She can draw on psychodynamic thinking to look at repeated relationship patterns and on solution-focused techniques to identify immediate, achievable goals.

Her background includes long-term roles supporting people affected by mental health difficulties, homelessness, domestic abuse and family concerns. That front-line experience shaped a practical, down-to-earth style and an emphasis on empathy and safety. She aims to create a calm space for people to talk through trauma, addiction, grief, anger, self-harm thoughts and issues around intimacy and identity.

Sessions are intended to explore feelings, clarify priorities and practise new ways of coping. Hanna works with a wide range of concerns including stress, sleep problems, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue and obsessive or compulsive behaviours. She also supports people facing isolation, control issues, jealousy and process addictions.

How Hanna blends approaches for online counselling

Hanna commonly uses client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas. Client-centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping a person find their own answers. It is useful when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk through stress, identity and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence mood and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, sleep problems and compulsive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hanna will discuss what feels most helpful and will try methods collaboratively based on someone’s goals and preferences. That way clients can see what helps and adjust the plan together as issues change.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by avoiding travel and allowing meetings around work or family commitments. It can also suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or who need a quieter arrangement that does not require being on camera the whole time.
