She works with people who are struggling with self-esteem, grief, anger and life changes.

Hanat trained in the United States and holds the NCPS credential. She has around five years of experience including professional roles in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the USA before practising in the United Kingdom. That international background informs her interest in multicultural concerns and prejudice and discrimination as part of people’s everyday difficulties.

In sessions she uses client-centred conversation, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness skills. Hanat also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused work to help people find forward movement. Her style is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, with an emphasis on small, achievable changes.

She offers support for body image worries, control issues, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, and somatic symptoms. Hanat also helps people explore life purpose, cope with disasters and manage compassion fatigue. The aim is to build self-love, improved coping and clearer decision making.

People who choose her can expect respectful listening and practical tools. Hanat invites clients to shape the process together and to take steps that fit their daily life. If you want to begin, follow the site's Start Therapy steps to match and schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful, non-judgemental listening and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs a steady space to talk things through and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful habits, and manage mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest whether a more reflective client-centred style, structured CBT tasks, or a mix would suit best. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during the day. Because the biography does not specify session formats, please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity when routines change and allow therapy to be scheduled around work, caring responsibilities or study commitments.
