Hanan Abubasheer

Hanan Abubasheer is an ACA counsellor who focuses on practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and loneliness. She combines counselling, social work and health promotion skills to support people through difficult life changes and emotional challenges.

She draws on experience from both local and international settings. This background has helped her develop cross-cultural awareness and an ability to communicate with people from diverse backgrounds. Sessions centre on clear goals and small, manageable steps rather than jargon or theory-heavy explanations.

Hanan commonly helps people facing depression, panic and post-traumatic stress by breaking issues into workable pieces. She also addresses body image, self-esteem, guilt and shame with straightforward strategies and reflective conversation. Her approach is practical and centred on what the person wants to change or understand.

People looking for support with workplace stress, communication problems or finding life purpose can expect focused conversations that lead to coping tools. Hanan uses plain language and mixes short exercises with time to talk things through. She aims to make each session useful in everyday life.

Sessions are offered in English and Arabic. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then book according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Hanan uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear tools and practical change. One common approach is cognitive-style work that helps people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood by changing how situations are interpreted. Another strand involves behaviour-focused strategies such as gradual exposure to feared situations and small activity changes to lift mood and reduce avoidance, which helps with panic and social anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hanan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try options that match those needs, and adjust methods as the work progresses. The aim is to find what feels useful in day-to-day life rather than forcing a single method.

Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care when routines change, while the therapist and client agree on practical arrangements that suit them both.
