About Hawaa
Hawaa Dajan is an AHPRA-registered psychologist who helps people coping with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and grief. She works with adults who are struggling with low self-esteem or difficult relationship patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use each day.
Hawaa uses clear, collaborative conversation to help people make sense of what they're feeling. She listens for strengths and builds on them. The tone is warm and straightforward, so clients can set small, useful goals and try out new skills between sessions.
Background and approach
Her clinical work draws on cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, skills from dialectical approaches, and trauma-informed ways of understanding difficult memories. These methods are used to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, manage strong emotions, and build routines that support wellbeing. Hawaa's experience includes community mental health and telehealth over three years.
That background means she is familiar with both in-person and online ways of working and with common problems such as grief, attachment concerns and caregiver stress. She aims to tailor each session to the person's priorities and pace. People who choose her can expect a practical focus and a supportive therapeutic relationship.
Hawaa helps clients notice patterns, practise new responses, and work toward clearer goals over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Hawaa commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. These techniques often involve setting small experiments, tracking thoughts and testing beliefs to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and build committed actions, and on dialectical skills to manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping. Trauma-informed ways of working are used to attend to difficult memories and their ongoing effects on feelings and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Hawaa will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt methods as goals and needs change. She works collaboratively to find techniques that fit a person's life and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual connection while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats offer flexibility for different schedules and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
