Marian Hanson, BACP

Marian Hanson is a UK-licensed therapist who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, career challenges, low self-esteem, confidence concerns, motivation difficulties, and depression. She approaches each person with respect for their knowledge of their own life, working from the belief that individuals are the experts of their own stories and already possess strengths that can be mobilised to meet difficult situations.

Marian understands that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and she offers steady professional support for that journey. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognized professional standards in the United Kingdom.

In sessions she aims to create an environment where practical goals and personal values can be explored, helping people build confidence, improve relationships, and find clearer paths through life changes. Marian combines empathy with practical techniques to help clients make meaningful, manageable progress toward the changes they seek.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches Online

Marian uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and reactions, helping people address intimacy, trust, and connection issues. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the centre of the work, emphasising empathy and active listening so clients can explore their values and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marian works collaboratively to determine what fits best for each client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they review progress and adapt methods as needed to support steady, meaningful change.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access registered professionals from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication styles, allowing clients to choose formats that feel most comfortable and effective for their situation.
