About Hannah
Hannah Ilori is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and eating issues. Hannah also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, codependency and addiction-related concerns.
She meets people from a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities. Hannah pays attention to cultural differences and listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions are conversational and focused on the issues the client brings.
Hannah describes her base approach as person-centred, which means she puts the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work. Clients are encouraged to speak openly and to make their own pace. Hannah aims to be non-judgemental and direct in her responses so people can say what they need to say.
She works flexibly with other methods when they fit the client’s goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to change thinking and behaviour patterns. Attachment-based ideas are drawn on to look at how past relationships affect current ones.
Practical strategies such as mindfulness exercises and emotionally-focused tools may appear alongside longer conversations about family of origin, boundaries and self-worth. Hannah also offers coaching-style support for career and life changes when that is what the person wants.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Hannah uses person-centred and attachment-based ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred work focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and giving the client space to speak and reflect. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to clarify their own priorities.Attachment-based work looks at patterns from past relationships and how they affect current connections. It can be useful for people who struggle with boundaries, codependency or repeating familiar relationship dynamics. Cognitive behavioural techniques involve looking at thinking patterns and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Which approach is used is a collaborative decision. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the practical problems the client wants to solve, then adapt methods as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, and making it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Consider which arrangements help you concentrate and plan with the therapist from there.
