About Hannah

Hannah Ilori is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing issues such as trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, eating problems, anger, anxiety and low self-esteem. Hannah also supports people dealing with stress, addiction-related concerns, and life changes.

Her style centres on a person-centred way of working that values the therapeutic relationship and listening. Hannah describes her role as someone who offers a non-judgemental, genuine space where clients can speak and be heard. She combines this stance with practical techniques when useful.

Hannah takes a pluralist approach to therapy. She uses client-centred practice alongside methods drawn from cognitive behavioural work, attachment-informed thinking, emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness. That means sessions can include talking through thoughts and feelings, noticing patterns in relationships, and practising grounded attention skills.

She has experience with people from varied backgrounds and nationalities and says she keeps learning about different cultures. That background informs how she adapts conversation and interventions to each person’s context and concerns.

Sessions typically focus on immediate, practical steps as well as longer-term relational patterns. Hannah works with personal goals such as improving self-esteem, managing anger, coping with grief, changing unhelpful habits or navigating relationship strain. The emphasis is on clear dialogue, reflection and adjusting methods as needed.

How sessions work

Approaches you might use and how online sessions work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and reactions. It can help when recurring relationship dynamics or attachment worries are getting in the way of connection or fuelling anger and avoidance. Client-centred practice focuses on listening and on giving the client a consistent, respectful relationship. This approach is useful for people who want to talk through feelings, regain a clearer sense of themselves, or work through emotional overwhelm. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In sessions these methods are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, try alternative responses and practise small behavioural changes that reduce anger or anxiety. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaboration helps shape the plan and changes it as progress is made. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example a shorter phone check-in can suit a busy workday, or video calls can allow longer conversational sessions without travel. Registered or accredited professionals offer different formats, so check which ones are provided when you schedule.
