Hanna Bohrisch, BACP

Hanna Bohrisch is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and those coping with trauma and abuse. Hanna aims to offer a respectful, caring space for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She believes most people are doing their best in difficult circumstances. When painful events like abuse, domestic violence, bullying or loss occur, they can leave someone feeling isolated, low in self-esteem or lacking trust in themselves and others. Hanna helps people who feel sad, trapped or alone to make sense of those experiences.

In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship and a warm environment. That lets people talk about painful memories and current struggles without judgement. The goal is to help each person become more accepting of themselves and start to notice their strengths.

Hanna supports work on practical concerns too, such as career questions, relationship stresses, and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to themes like abandonment, control issues, guilt and shame, and loneliness. Her approach is rooted in compassion and integrity, and she encourages small steps towards change.

People who choose Hanna can expect straightforward, down-to-earth conversations. She invites clients to set goals and to explore what feels most helpful for them. The focus is on building momentum toward a more fulfilling life.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Hanna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and anxiety in practical, accessible ways. One common approach focuses on processing traumatic memories gradually so they feel less overwhelming and intrusive. This helps people who live with post-traumatic stress, sexual assault or ongoing effects of abuse to regain a sense of control over memories and reactions.

Another approach targets mood and daily coping skills, teaching simple strategies to manage low mood, reduce anxiety and rebuild self-esteem. This work often includes setting small goals, trying new routines and learning ways to respond differently to unhelpful thoughts and feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which techniques to try first. Adjustments are made as progress and understanding grow.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations when seeing facial cues helps, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step tasks and when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to get consistent support around work and family life.
