Hannah Huxley, BACP

Hannah Huxley is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low confidence. She works with clients facing depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and those living with long-term health conditions. Hannah draws on different approaches to meet each person's needs and encourages practical steps towards change.

Hannah trained and holds BACP registration, which she uses as the basis for her practice in the United Kingdom. She describes herself as integrative, combining methods so sessions suit the person in front of her. Conversations are kept straightforward and grounded in everyday life rather than jargon.

In sessions Hannah asks about what matters most to the client and what is already helping. She helps people notice strengths they may not see and find small, manageable ways to tackle problems. Work might include looking at thoughts and behaviours, thinking about attachment and patterns from the past, or practising mindfulness to calm stress.

She has four years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting strain, chronic illness and compassion fatigue. Hannah also supports people dealing with career issues, sleep problems, anger, and identity matters such as LGBT concerns.

People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth approach often fit well with her style. She invites clients to set goals together and to try practical strategies between sessions. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire so sessions can be matched to their needs.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repeating habits in relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels understood and supported while they find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hannah will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses, so plans are reviewed together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making it simpler to attend when mobility or health issues make travel difficult. It also means the therapist and client can focus on practical tools, thought work and mindfulness exercises that transfer into everyday routines.
