Hawaa Dajan

Hawaa Dajan is a registered psychologist with three years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, relationship strain and concerns about body image. Her manner is warm and collaborative, and she focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

Hawaa works in a goal-centred way. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress and building skills to respond differently. She aims to help people notice patterns, try new approaches, and build on strengths that already exist.

She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behaviour principles and trauma-informed ways of working. These methods are used to help with panic, low mood, overwhelming memories and difficult emotions. Hawaa explains strategies clearly and helps people practise them between sessions.

The atmosphere in her sessions is non-judgemental and paced to each person. Conversations are collaborative - the person and Hawaa plan steps together. She supports clients to set realistic goals and work toward steady change.

Hawaa has experience in community mental health and in telehealth settings. She works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and pays attention to how culture shapes experience and healing. People who want to try a structured, practical approach to eating and food-related issues alongside other concerns may find her approach helpful.

How Hawaa uses therapeutic methods in online sessions

Hawaa often uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try more useful ways of reacting. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep people stuck.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, which focus on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. That way of working supports people who want to live by their values despite uncomfortable feelings.

Her use of dialectical behaviour principles brings concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication. Those skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Hawaa discusses options with each person and tailors methods to their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helpful and adapts the plan over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life because it can reduce travel, make scheduling easier and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Appropriately registered therapists can use online sessions to teach skills, review progress and plan gradual changes that fit everyday routines.
