About Hanan
Hanan Abubasheer is an ACA counsellor with three years' experience working across counselling, psychology support, research assistance, social work, and health promotion. She has worked both locally and abroad, and uses that background to help people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression and big life changes.
She focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now. Hanan listens for what a person wants to change and what gets in the way. Sessions aim to make everyday decisions clearer and to reduce the overwhelm that follows a job change, relationship shift, or health event.
Her background includes clinical and community roles that exposed her to diverse cultures and communication styles. That experience guides how she talks about body image, workplace pressures, and social anxiety. She also addresses issues such as guilt, shame, forgiveness and isolation in straightforward terms.
Hanan supports people considering life purpose questions and those who feel stuck after major transitions. She works in English and Arabic, and combines counselling with health-promotion strategies to build practical coping steps. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes rather than big theoretical frameworks.
People who choose to work with Hanan usually start by identifying one or two immediate concerns. From there they develop a simple plan for next steps, including ways to manage panic, reduce avoidance, and improve communication at work or home.
How her approaches inform online sessions
Hanan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One approach emphasises learning coping skills for anxiety and panic, teaching breathing, grounding and behaviour changes to reduce avoidance. Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and its effects through steady, paced conversations that address triggers and reactions without rushing recovery.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Hanan collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs and preferences. She checks in on what helps and adjusts the approach over time so sessions stay relevant and manageable.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into work days or busy family routines, and they make it easier to continue care after relocation or travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or phone-based work when bandwidth is low. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can guide whether these choices suit a person's needs.
