How Hanat adapts therapy approaches for online work
Hanat commonly uses client-centred therapy to create a space where people are heard and respected. This approach means sessions start with the person's priorities and the counsellor reflects back what she hears so people can clarify their own goals.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical experiments. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood, addiction-related urges and coping after traumatic events.
Finding the best fit is part of the process. Hanat will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you can decide which approaches to use and how to pace the work. That collaborative planning helps shape what happens week to week.
