About Hana
Counsellor Hana Ibrahim is a BACP member with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family issues, self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, anger, career questions, coping with life changes and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in the United Kingdom.
Hana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her sessions. She draws on approaches that focus on clear steps and practical thinking to reduce distress and on talking methods that help people make sense of patterns in relationships. Conversations aim to identify small changes that can ease day-to-day problems such as panic, phobias, workplace stress and social anxiety.
Her style is direct and practical. She helps people notice thought patterns, behaviours and moments that cause concern. Work can include setting short-term goals and trying out new ways of handling difficult feelings or interactions. Hana also covers topics such as communication problems, domestic violence, addiction, fatherhood issues, isolation and life purpose.
Hana has experience helping people recover from trauma and abuse and supporting those living with depression and anxiety disorders. She also offers support around parenting, grief and rebuilding self-worth after difficult experiences.
Sessions follow a counsellor-client structure with discussion and agreed steps between meetings. If planning to book, check which session formats are currently offered before committing.
How evidence-based methods are used in online counselling
Hana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour. One approach involves identifying thought patterns that increase anxiety and practising different ways of responding. This can help reduce panic attacks, social anxiety and repetitive worry.She also uses practical, problem-focused work to tackle low mood and everyday difficulties. That work often includes small, measurable steps such as activity scheduling, communication exercises and experimenting with alternative responses to stressful situations. These techniques are useful for depression, workplace issues and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right method is part of early sessions. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans may change as the work progresses.
If you are considering online counselling, confirm which session formats Hana currently offers before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy day, shorter check-ins when time is limited and options that avoid travel. Registered or accredited professionals can run sessions remotely, and the therapist will explain how the sessions will run when you book.
