About Hannah

Hannah Ilori, BACP counsellor, has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and eating disorders. Hannah speaks English and has experience supporting clients from varied cultural and national backgrounds.

She uses a person-centred approach that aims to make it straightforward to talk about what matters. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people make clearer sense of their thoughts and feelings. Hannah also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when it fits the client’s goals, using practical steps to notice unhelpful thinking and test new responses.

Hannah describes herself as pluralist in style. That means she mixes methods such as attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused techniques and mindfulness alongside person-centred conversation. Sessions often move between exploring past patterns and trying small, actionable changes in the present.

Her work often covers self-esteem, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction concerns, intimacy and issues around body image. She also supports people with attachment difficulties, parenting concerns, blended family issues and the effects of family of origin problems. The focus is on what a person wants to change and the next practical step they can try.

Practical features of her practice include working with people from different backgrounds and accepting international clients. Hannah uses a subscription-based session model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Hannah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes. CBT focuses on noticing patterns, setting concrete goals and trying new responses to daily problems, which can suit issues like anxiety, low mood and disordered eating.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence current relationships and emotional reactions. Attachment work helps when persistent trust, closeness or distance issues affect day-to-day life. Her person-centred approach keeps the conversation grounded in the client’s perspective, allowing them to set the pace and priorities of the work.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will discuss options with each client and try methods that match their goals and preferences. This can mean combining listening-based work with brief CBT experiments or focused attachment work over several sessions.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions useful for keeping continuity of care and maintaining steady progress between appointments.
