Hanna Mallie, BACP

Hanna Mallie holds a BACP credential and practises as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She has seven years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and other concerns. Hanna aims to meet people with sensitivity and respect and supports them to find practical ways forward.

Her background includes many years of direct support work in mental health, homelessness, domestic abuse and family-related settings. That experience shaped a grounded, hands-on approach to everyday struggles. She uses familiar therapeutic methods such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused steps to tailor sessions to each person.

In sessions Hanna keeps the focus on what the person wants to change. She listens, helps name patterns, and works on small, achievable steps. Conversations can cover coping skills for anxiety, ways to manage mood, boundaries around relationships, and practical routines that support sleep and wellbeing.

Hanna also supports people dealing with intense issues like addiction, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, domestic violence, obsessive thoughts, dissociation and feelings of isolation, including jealousy and intimacy-related concerns. She emphasises collaboration and helps people notice their own strengths as part of recovery.

Starting therapy with her involves a clear process: clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s own goals and pace. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects feelings and helps the person notice their strengths and choices. This approach suits people who want supportive, exploratory conversations about relationships, self-worth and grief.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks problems into steps and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, sleep difficulties, low mood and unhelpful habits. Sessions often include small tasks to try between meetings so progress can be tracked.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then tailor a plan together. That collaborative process means methods can change as needs shift.

If you are considering online work, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Confirming options lets you pick what best fits your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family time, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to be on camera or not depending on energy and bandwidth.
