About Hannah
Hannah Ilori is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on concerns such as relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, eating and food-related issues, and parenting stresses.
Hannah works in a person-centred way, which means she places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of sessions and listens without judgement. She also draws on other methods when they suit the person's needs, including cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-focused ideas, emotionally-focused approaches and mindfulness practices. Sessions are conversational and practical, with space to talk through feelings and try out different ways of coping.
She has worked with people from a range of cultural and religious backgrounds and says she learns from those differences. That experience informs how she talks about family of origin issues, blended family concerns and fatherhood matters. Hannah also lists support for issues such as self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addictions, intimacy-related problems and isolation.
In practical terms she uses an evidence-informed mix rather than a single model. That means a typical session may include reflective talk, grounding or breathing exercises, and cognitive tools to test unhelpful thoughts. The aim is to find approaches that fit the client's day-to-day life and goals.
For people juggling parenting, work and relationship strain, she offers steady, straightforward sessions that focus on clearer thinking and better coping. International clients may be considered and sessions are held in English.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships affect present ones. Online conversations using this approach often focus on patterns of closeness, trust and how people react under stress, which can help with family of origin issues and intimate relationship concerns.Client-centred therapy centres on the relationship and the person's own perspective. In an online setting this means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects what they hear, and helps the person make sense of their feelings and choices without directing them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, such as simple thought records or behavioural experiments that can be worked through during sessions and practised between them.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals, try out methods and agree together what feels most useful. That process can change as progress is made or circumstances shift.
The practical advantages of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time and making it easier to arrange appointments across time zones. The biography does not list specific formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Many people find online sessions allow for shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling, which supports keeping therapy consistent alongside parenting and work commitments.
