Hannah Ilori, BACP

Hannah Ilori is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people deal with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, and issues around intimacy and trust. She offers calm, non-judgemental support and listens so clients can find their own way forward. Her approach is warm and person-centred, with practical steps when these are useful.

Hannah works from a person-centred stance and calls the relationship between counsellor and client the engine of change. She aims to create a space where people feel heard, respected and able to speak openly about what matters to them. She uses that foundation to tailor therapy to each person’s needs.

She also draws on several established methods when they fit the situation, including cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns and attachment-focused tools to look at how early relationships affect current connections. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas may be used to help manage strong feelings and to rebuild connection after wounds.

Hannah has four years of professional experience and has worked with people from different national and cultural backgrounds. She aims to adapt sessions to what each person brings, paying attention to family of origin, body image, codependency, and other recurring themes that can influence relationships and self-worth.

People who worry about jealousy, infidelity, isolation or controlling behaviours can expect a practical, empathetic process. Hannah says the first step takes courage and she supports people to set realistic goals and try manageable changes over time.

How Hannah’s approaches translate to online work

Hannah blends person-centred care with other methods so therapy is both accepting and practical. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand why jealousy or closeness can feel difficult. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Hannah will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. She aims to make decisions together so the therapy style suits your needs and pace.

Be sure to confirm which session formats are currently offered before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone join from a different country. Registered or accredited professionals often find that these practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they manage daily commitments.
