Hanan Abubasheer

Hanan Abubasheer is an ACA counsellor who aims to make therapy approachable and practical. She draws on three years of experience across counselling, psychology support, social work and health promotion. Her style is straightforward and calm, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and changes in life.

Hanan also addresses concerns about body image, self-esteem and issues of guilt and shame. She supports people working through trauma, panic and post-traumatic stress in ways that suit each person’s pace. She pays attention to workplace stress, social anxiety and the particular pressures many women face.

Her background includes local and international roles that developed cross-cultural skills. That experience helps when conversations include cultural or language differences, and she can work in English and Arabic. She combines practical conversation with strategies from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create clear steps forward.

Sessions tend to focus on small, achievable goals and on building skills for everyday life. Hanan takes time to understand what is most pressing for each person and adapts the approach accordingly. She encourages people to bring specific worries so they are addressed directly.

People who choose Hanan often want down-to-earth guidance rather than technical language. She encourages honest conversation about setbacks and progress. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their needs.

How evidence-based techniques can work online

Hanan draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to help with anxiety, trauma and body image concerns. One common approach uses structured, skills-based work to teach breathing, grounding and coping strategies that reduce panic and manage day-to-day anxiety. These techniques focus on clear exercises you can practise between sessions to build confidence and calm.

Another frequently used approach involves structured reflection on thoughts and beliefs that contribute to low self-esteem and body image problems. This involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them with simple experiments, and practising alternative, more balanced ways of thinking. These steps help people feel steadier and make clearer choices about behaviour and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hanan works collaboratively to identify what fits a person's goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and choose which techniques to try first.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy week, or making it simpler to join from a quiet space. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent momentum between sessions.
