About Hannah
Hannah Ilori is a counsellor who helps people facing trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, and struggles with eating and self-esteem. She works with clients who are coping with grief, stress, addiction, parenting challenges and career change. Hannah also lists LGBT among her focus areas and supports people dealing with intimacy and family concerns.
Hannah trained to postgraduate level and has four years of professional experience. She uses a person-centred way of working that puts the therapeutic relationship first.
Background and approach
In practice this means she aims to listen without judgement and to create space for people to be heard and understood. She draws on a range of approaches to suit the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical skills and thought patterns are helpful.
Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional responses. Sessions are adjusted to each person’s needs and goals. Hannah says she tailors dialogue and plans rather than following a rigid script.
That could mean focused short-term work or longer, exploration-led sessions depending on what the client wants. Hannah has worked with people from different national and cultural backgrounds. Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She speaks English and accepts international clients, and asks people to confirm current session options before booking.

How Hannah’s approaches translate to online therapy
Hannah combines person-centred practice with cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking. Person-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and building a trusting relationship, which helps with low self-esteem, grief and emotional overwhelm. Cognitive behavioural techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes, which can be useful for anxiety, mood and eating-related patterns. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship experiences shape current emotional responses and how people relate to others.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Hannah will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean trying practical CBT tools alongside longer conversations about relationship patterns, and reviewing what feels most helpful as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It also lets people choose quieter or shorter check-ins when that suits them. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online appointments to maintain continuity of care for clients who are based abroad or have limited local options.
