Hannah Ilori, BACP

Hannah Ilori helps people facing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and addiction issues, and relationship and intimacy difficulties. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, career changes, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, anger, sleeping problems and stress. Hannah uses plain, respectful language and aims to make a tense first step feel manageable.

Hannah works from a person-centred stance that values being heard without judgement. She aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and feel acknowledged. Sessions focus on the individual's needs and priorities rather than a fixed script.

She draws on several approaches to match what the person needs. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. Attachment-based thinking helps look at patterns in close relationships that affect how someone feels and reacts.

Mindfulness techniques may be offered to help with staying present and reducing overwhelm. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas support people who want to understand and shift painful emotional patterns in relationships. Hannah combines these methods in ways that make sense for each person.

Hannah has four years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with people from different cultural and religious backgrounds and is comfortable working with international clients in English.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and needs. She tailors session plans and works collaboratively to set goals and priorities.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Hannah draws on attachment-based work to look at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can help people who notice repeating relationship difficulties or struggle with trust and closeness.

She also uses client-centred principles that place the person's experience at the heart of each session. This means the pace and topics are guided by what matters most to the individual rather than a fixed agenda. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used alongside these approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes for mood, sleep or anxiety problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hannah will discuss options during early sessions and check in about what feels helpful. Together the person and therapist set goals and adapt methods over time so the work stays relevant to the person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls provide face-to-face connection for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer to write rather than speak. These formats help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
