About Hannah
Hannah Prentice is a BACP counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through difficult times. She offers warm, one-to-one sessions that aim to help people understand their feelings and find ways to move forward. Her approach puts the person at the centre of the work, with an emphasis on being listened to and respected.
Hannah draws on person-centred and existential ideas to keep conversations focused on what matters to each individual. Sessions are informal and paced to suit the client, with space to talk about stress, anxiety, grief, relationship worries, or changes at work or home. She helps people untangle emotions so they feel less overwhelming.
Her background includes counselling in community and healthcare settings, support work at a foodbank, pregnancy advisory services, and experience in both hospital and community mental health teams. This range of roles has informed a practical, down-to-earth way of working with people facing varied challenges. Hannah also has training in areas such as mental health awareness, bereavement support, and safeguarding.
People often bring concerns such as low self-esteem, career uncertainty, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, loneliness, or difficulty finding life purpose. Hannah listens without judgement and values each person’s story when helping them make sense of what they’re facing.
She holds a BA (Hons) in Philosophy, a postgraduate diploma in continental philosophy and a CPCAB Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling, alongside registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
How person-centred work translates to online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on providing a non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and supports. This approach helps with low self-esteem, anxiety, relationship worries and life transitions by prioritising the person’s own goals and pace.Existential ideas complement this by looking at meaning, life choices and feelings of emptiness or being stuck. These conversations aim to help people clarify values and make decisions that feel more aligned with their life direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Hannah will work with each person to decide whether person-centred or existential elements suit their needs, and she adapts the way she works based on the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the person’s concerns guide the focus.
