About Hanat

Counsellor (NCPS), 5 years' experience. Hanat Balimuttajjo helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and life changes. She works in English and accepts international clients while based in the United Kingdom.

Hanat uses practical conversation and goal-focused work to address what matters now. She draws on client-centred therapy to listen and understand each person's priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools help with short-term coping and clearer next steps.

Her background includes clinical work across the USA and the Middle East before practising in the UK. That range informs her attention to cultural issues and to the ways people adapt in different settings. The NCPS credential listed signals registration as supplied in her profile.

Sessions tend to focus on immediate problems such as managing cravings, reducing panic, improving self-esteem or planning a life transition. Hanat uses motivational interviewing to build willingness for change and solution-focused methods to set clear, practical goals. She also works with somatic themes when feelings show in the body.

People who want straightforward, conversational therapy find this approach useful. Expect direct discussion of what is causing distress, short exercises to try between meetings, and a focus on skills that can be used day to day. To start, follow the site's booking flow and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How her approaches translate to remote work

Hanat uses client-centred therapy to focus on what each person says is most important; this means sessions start by listening and reflecting to build a clear picture of priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses in everyday life. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve moment-to-moment coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hanat will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than sticking to one fixed method.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a shorter session suits. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists often find remote work supports consistent attendance and lets people use practical exercises at home between meetings.
