About Hanat
Hanat Balimuttajjo supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger and depression. She also helps with relationship and self-esteem difficulties, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and family concerns. Hanat works with issues such as body image, control problems, guilt and shame, and problems linked to multicultural stress or prejudice. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers services in English.
Hanat uses a practical, person-focused style in sessions. She adapts conversations to each person and works to build a plan together. Sessions draw on client-centred listening alongside tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people manage thoughts and reactions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set goals and find small, achievable steps.
Her background includes training in the United States and professional experience across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the USA. Hanat holds an NCPS credential and has five years' experience in counselling and coaching roles. She describes herself as trauma-informed and applies that perspective when discussing difficult experiences such as abuse or loss.
In practical terms, she aims to help people develop clearer coping strategies and healthier patterns over time. Conversations explore current difficulties and practical changes that fit daily life. Work may include building motivation, changing unhelpful thinking, practising grounding or mindfulness, and identifying steps to reduce reliance on substances.
Hanat encourages a respectful, culturally aware approach and tailors sessions to each person's background and needs. To begin, people follow the site's Start Therapy steps and complete a short questionnaire to match with a therapist.
How Hanat’s approaches translate to online work
Hanat blends client-centred listening with practical techniques. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and respected, and it focuses on the person's own goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers simple, step-by-step ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours that keep problems going. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short exercises to ground attention and reduce stress in the moment.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hanat will discuss different methods during early sessions and work with each person to decide what feels most useful. That decision is based on your goals, daily life and what techniques you prefer to try first.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, save travel time and allow more flexible timing. It can also support shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video if that better fits a person's day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt materials and exercises so they work the same whether sessions are remote or face to face.
