Background and approach
She holds NCPS, which she uses as part of her professional identity. Her background includes work in varied international settings, and she brings that experience into sessions. Her style is direct and person-focused.
Sessions start with what matters to the client. She listens for strengths and builds on those. Hanat offers tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness alongside conversation that centres the person’s goals.
She also uses solution-focused and motivational techniques to help with change. These approaches keep sessions pragmatic and goal oriented. Somatic ideas may be used to help when emotions show up in the body.
Hanat aims to create a clear plan with each person. That plan can include short-term goals, coping strategies and steps to work on over time. She encourages small, workable changes and checks progress regularly.
How Hanat uses therapeutic approaches online
Hanat commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to shape online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy means she follows the person’s lead, listens without judgement and helps clients make sense of their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that calm strong emotions and ground people in the present. These short practices can be used between sessions to manage stress and reduce rumination.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Hanat will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to fit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made, keeping work practical and goal focused.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone calls are helpful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or busy family life.
