About Hana
Hana Ibrahim is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship and family matters, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and social anxiety and phobia. Her work also covers parenting, anger, career issues, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Hana draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. Sessions focus on clear steps and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. Conversations are straightforward and paced to match what each person can manage.
She has experience using cognitive behavioural approaches in her practice. That involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life tasks. This can be useful for panic symptoms, phobias and social anxiety where gradual exposure and thought work are often helpful.
Hana pays attention to how relationships and family dynamics affect mood and behaviour. She helps people talk through communication problems and set realistic boundaries. Practical strategies are offered for handling workplace stress, parenting strain and the ripple effects of past trauma.
Sessions aim to be predictable and focused, with a mix of discussion and concrete exercises to try between appointments. People are encouraged to set small, measurable goals and review progress each week. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Hana works with cognitive behavioural techniques that focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them in day-to-day life. This approach breaks worries into manageable steps and can help with panic symptoms, phobias and social anxiety by encouraging gradual exposure and new thinking patterns.She also draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasise small experiments and homework tasks. These tools are aimed at changing behaviours that keep stress and low mood in place and at improving communication and coping skills in relationships and at work.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Hana will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and what feels doable. That collaborative decision helps keep the work realistic and focused on what matters most to the person.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, childcare and daily life because they remove travel time and allow shorter, more regular check-ins. Others prefer in-person meetings for longer sessions; check the available formats when you arrange your first appointment to pick what suits your routine.
