Hannah Prentice, BACP

Hannah Prentice is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered counsellor with ten years' experience. She offers one-to-one sessions aimed at helping people make sense of difficult feelings so those emotions stop getting in the way of daily life. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, and she values each person’s individual story.

Hannah draws on person-centred and humanistic ideas to create a space where clients feel accepted and listened to. She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing life changes like redundancy, divorce or bereavement.

Her background includes work across community and clinical settings. Roles have included counselling in private practice, support work at a foodbank, pregnancy support services, hospital acute psychiatric wards and advocacy work in a prison setting. These experiences inform how she responds to a wide range of concerns.

Training highlights include a CPCAB Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling, a BA (Hons) in Philosophy, and several specialist courses such as CARE counselling for pregnancy support and mental health awareness with MIND. She is listed with the BACP and notes that person-centred care guides her approach.

Hannah has a particular interest in carer support and compassion fatigue, and works with issues around loneliness, life purpose and financial stress. People looking for a respectful, steady presence to help them work through feelings may find her approach helpful.

How person-centred therapy works online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. It relies on a therapist offering acceptance, empathy and honest feedback so clients can explore feelings like anxiety, low self-esteem or grief and make practical changes.

Humanistic and existential influences that Hannah uses pay attention to personal meaning and everyday choices. These approaches can help when someone feels stuck, is facing a major life change, or is struggling with loneliness, purpose or caregiver stress. Sessions tend to be conversational and guided by what matters most to the person attending.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hannah will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt the way she works in response. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adjust the pace as needed.

Practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions around work or caring duties and keeping momentum during busy periods. Because the original biography does not list specific formats, please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a choice of ways to meet, and Hannah can help identify what will make it easiest to attend and stick with therapy.
