About Hanan
Hanan Abubasheer is an ACA counsellor who focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and stress. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful. Conversations are calm and solution-focused, with attention to immediate coping skills and longer-term change.
Hanan brings three years of mixed experience across counselling, psychology assistance, social work activities, health promotion and education. She has worked both locally in Australia and overseas, which has helped her understand different cultural perspectives.
Background and approach
That background helps when worries connect to cultural expectations or life transitions. Sessions tend to centre on what the person wants to address right now. Hanan helps people build tools for managing panic, social anxiety, low self-esteem and difficult memories.
She also supports those facing life changes, workplace stress and issues around body image or self-worth. Hanan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical exercises. She listens for patterns that keep problems active and suggests clear steps to try between sessions.
Progress is tracked with regular check-ins and small, achievable goals. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic and are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Hanan works with each person to match the format to their needs and daily routine.
Evidence-based approaches and online support
Hanan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and related concerns. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for panic and anxiety, such as breathing exercises, grounding techniques and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These tools help reduce the intensity of panic attacks and social anxiety over time.Another approach centres on addressing low self-esteem and unhelpful self-beliefs through structured exercises and reflective conversations. This involves identifying negative thought patterns, testing them in everyday life and building more balanced self-talk to improve mood and confidence.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hanan will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will choose techniques that fit your needs. She adapts methods as progress is made and checks in often to ensure the plan remains helpful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or travel make in-person sessions difficult. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing and want flexible, ongoing support between longer sessions.
