Background and approach
People can expect practical steps, questions that encourage reflection, and short-term goals when useful. Her experience includes five years working in counselling roles and wider professional work in international settings. That background informs a culturally aware approach and an emphasis on sensitivity and compassion.
She describes herself as trauma-informed and as a Positive Intelligence Coach. Sessions commonly focus on building coping skills for stress and anxiety, addressing substance and alcohol concerns, improving motivation, and working on self-development. Hanat also helps people reflect on their relationships with others and themselves, and to create realistic plans for change.
She adapts conversations to each person’s situation. Expect a mix of listening, goal-setting and practical strategies drawn from cognitive and reflective methods. The therapist encourages gradual steps rather than quick fixes and works with people to find what fits their everyday life.

How Hanat works online
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by teaching practical strategies and small behaviour changes.
Mindfulness-based methods are used to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without immediately reacting. These practices can support stress management, emotional regulation and grounding after difficult experiences.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adapt plans based on what feels useful. This means working together to match methods to a person’s goals and everyday life.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote counselling helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer therapeutic continuity while using methods that suit each person’s pace and circumstances.
