About Hanna

Hanna Seely is an NCPS counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She specialises in areas such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She also lists a wider range of concerns including parenting, ADHD, trauma and intimacy-related issues.

She previously worked in the education sector for nearly ten years. That experience influences her focus on developmental issues and on clear, practical support. Sessions aim to pin down what feels unhelpful now and try small, doable changes to thoughts and habits.

Hanna describes herself as an integrative counsellor. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered approaches and Psychodynamic ideas to shape sessions. That mix is used to look at patterns of thought, current coping strategies and the history behind recurring problems.

In practical terms she works in a way that helps people notice automatic thoughts and test alternative responses. Conversations are structured and aim to build skills for handling stress, improving communication, and managing strong emotions. Progress is tracked by identifying clear goals and checking what changes are or are not working.

People who come for support can expect a focus on concrete steps alongside space to reflect on past experiences. Hanna encourages small experiments between sessions so people can see what helps in everyday life. She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients at this time.

How her approaches translate to online working

Hanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try concrete alternative responses. CBT sessions typically focus on specific problems, short-term goals and practical exercises to use between meetings.

She also draws on Client-Centred (Person-Centred) work, which emphasises listening, reflecting what matters to the client and building a collaborative relationship. Psychodynamic ideas are used to consider how past patterns can influence current feelings and reactions, which can be useful for longer-standing issues.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what you want to achieve, and then decide together which approaches to prioritise. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable.

The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats offered, so check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written or screen-based exercises between sessions to reinforce what they practise with the therapist.
