About me
Hello there, I'm Hanna Seely, an integrative counsellor at Lasting Light Counselling. I specialise in supporting staff working in education, teenagers, and parents during difficult times, having worked in the education sector for a decade across various schools within Nottinghamshire. I'm particularly passionate about helping clients with their relationships, developmental and relational trauma, grief, and life changes/ transitions.
Over time, I've gained experience working with issues such as relationships, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem / confidence, bereavement, self-harm, suicidal ideation and intent, abuse (physical, emotional, spiritual, sexual), trauma (developmental, relational, and life events), life changes/ transitions, cultural and religious issues, LGBTQ+ issues, fertility issues, financial issues, procrastination, unhelpful habits, neurodivergence, and burnout.
In order to reach more people, I'm based in two parts of Nottingham (West Bridgford and Beeston) as well as online. Please take a look at the rest of my page to see if you think we'd work well together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I deeply care about mental health and education, so it's no surprise that I've decided to combine the two by helping those involved in or linked to the education sector. My training and ongoing professional development means I can work ethically and effectively with adults and teenagers, having gained qualifications to work with both groups. I've been counselling individuals for the past three and a half years, partly within schools, the charity sector, and private practice. I'm now working full-time in private practice with adults and teenagers.
In terms of my background, I grew up in a religious household and therefore have a deep understanding of the challenges and expectations involved in this. I'm no longer religious, but would consider myself to be spiritual. I started off studying and working within the legal sector, before changing to the education sector. I have experience as a teaching assistant, tutor, trainee teacher, and counsellor within schools, and can therefore empathise with the experiences you may have had. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about me or my experience at lastinglightcounselling@proton.me

Additional information
Every person is different and I am happy to tailor your counselling experience with what works best for you. It might be through conversation, a more practical approach (e.g. CBT- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), exploring parts of the self, working creatively or through play.
I offer a free 15-minute phone or video call for our initial consultation. This is a chance to get to know each other, see if we would like to work together, discuss what your areas of need might be and if you have any questions regarding counselling and the service I provide. In terms of counselling sessions (should we agree to continue after the free consultation), each one is 50 minutes long; this is so that I have time at the end to make notes and reflect on the session. This is what's known as the therapeutic hour (usually 45-55 minutes). The cost is £55.00 per session for adults, and there is a 10% discount (£49.50 per session) for undergraduate university students and counselling students.
Alternatively, to book a block of 6 sessions (adults only), you can do so with a £5 discount per session, meaning you save £30.00 when you pay for the 6 sessions together (£300.00 in total). If you would like to book sessions or have any questions regarding this service, please do not hesitate to email or give me a call.
