About Hanat
Hanat Balimuttajjo is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and major life changes. She also lists life purpose among her focus areas.
Hanat trained in the United States and has worked in several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the USA, before basing her practice in the United Kingdom. Her background includes counselling and positive intelligence coaching, and she draws on that mix when helping people who feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next.
In sessions she uses clear, practical methods. That includes talking through thoughts and behaviour patterns using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and focused conversations based on Solution-Focused Therapy. She also brings Client-Centred listening and motivational techniques to conversations about change and recovery.
Hanat pays attention to cultural factors and to how things like guilt, shame or shame-related impulses can affect a person's decisions. She works with issues such as drug and alcohol addiction, body image and somatic symptoms alongside emotional concerns like anger and depression.
People often come for help adjusting to transitions or for coaching around life purpose. Hanat will discuss goals and practical steps in early sessions and uses mindfulness and motivational strategies to support behaviour change and clearer next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Hanat uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise listening and understanding the person's experience, helping them feel heard and shaping sessions around their concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviours and to try practical experiments that reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Hanat will discuss options with the client, test what helps in early sessions, and adjust methods based on the person's goals and preferences. She often blends conversation, goal-setting and mindfulness practices to suit individual needs.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break or meetings that avoid travel time. It can also allow conversations to continue when someone has moved countries or is coordinating care across time zones, but Hanat will confirm practical details and the best setup when arranging the first appointment.
