About Hanna

Hanna Seely is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing money and financial issues alongside stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She specialises in helping people manage life changes, parenting pressures, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Hanna aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

Hanna has three years of professional experience and has spent nearly a decade working in the education sector. That background influences how she supports developmental concerns and relationship patterns that show up across life stages. She uses a flexible approach and adapts sessions to what each person needs in the moment.

Her practice draws on client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at patterns of thought and behaviour that can be adjusted. Psychodynamic ideas explore how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships.

In sessions Hanna tends to prioritise practical steps alongside space to think and reflect. She helps people set small, achievable goals and try different ways of coping between meetings. Conversations often cover communication, boundaries, impulses and patterns that keep problems repeating.

Hanna holds the NCPS credential and offers counselling in English. She does not accept international clients. If someone is considering starting, Hanna asks them to use the site’s matching process to arrange a first meeting and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Hanna’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred work puts the person’s priorities at the centre and focuses on listening, understanding and pacing sessions to each person’s needs. It helps when someone wants a calm, supportive space to make sense of money worries, relationship strain or low mood.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to try different ways of responding to anxiety, impulsivity or financial stress between sessions.

Psychodynamic ideas explore how earlier experiences and relationships shape current feelings and habits. This can be useful for repetitive patterns such as attachment issues, abandonment fears or problems with intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hanna will discuss options and try methods that fit the client’s goals, needs and preferences. Decisions about focus and techniques are collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports carrying out CBT exercises between meetings and reflecting on patterns over time.
