Hanna Mallie, BACP

Hanna Mallie is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She works from a compassionate, client-focused stance and offers supportive care for concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, addictions, and issues related to intimacy and sleep. Hanna combines a holistic outlook with practical therapeutic skills to help people explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns that can feel overwhelming.

Her background includes direct work in mental health, homelessness support, domestic abuse, and family services, giving her experience with a wide range of life challenges and complex situations. This practical experience complements her therapeutic practice and informs a sensitive, non-judgmental approach to each person she works with.

Hanna believes in partnering with clients to identify internal strengths and resources that can be developed over time. She aims to create a contained environment where people can reflect, develop coping strategies, and work toward recovery and greater well-being. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she follows professional standards while tailoring therapy to each individual’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Hanna uses client-centered therapy to place the client’s perspective at the heart of the work - this approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting a person to find their own solutions and build self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Psychodynamic therapy offers a way to explore how past experiences and relational patterns influence current feelings and relationships, helping some people gain deeper insight into recurring issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hanna collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts the work as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy allows sessions to take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from registered professionals without needing to travel, and they can be especially helpful for managing day-to-day stressors and maintaining continuity of care.
