Hannah Dickinson , BACP

Hannah Dickinson is a UK-based therapist with 10 years of professional experience who holds BACP credentials - membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people managing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties and bipolar disorder, offering practical and empathetic support tailored to each person's situation.

Hannah approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping treatment to reflect the needs and goals of each client. She places importance on listening carefully to a client's story and collaborating on a plan that fits their life, pace, and preferences. Her practice emphasises creating a supportive environment where difficult topics can be explored and understood without judgment.

Taking a first step toward change often requires courage, and Hannah aims to accompany clients through that process with steady guidance and flexible strategies. Whether someone seeks help for recurring anxiety, the aftermath of trauma, challenges in parenting, or mood instability related to bipolar disorder, Hannah draws on her experience to help clients build understanding, resilience, and workable coping steps.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Hannah draws on client-centered therapy to place the client's perspective at the heart of the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and helping people identify their own goals so they can feel more empowered and understood. Psychodynamic therapy is used to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns can influence current feelings and relationships, offering insight that can free people from repeating difficult cycles. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of traumatic events, helping individuals process difficult memories and develop coping strategies to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hannah collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so the therapy remains relevant and effective for the client's changing circumstances.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access support from different locations and at flexible times. These formats can accommodate busy schedules, reduce travel barriers, and allow continuity of care for clients who live abroad or have changing commitments, while enabling therapists and licensed professionals to maintain an ongoing therapeutic relationship.
