About Hania

Hania Masoud, PACFA counsellor, has eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and depression. She also helps with grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Hania uses a mix of practical therapies to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit into everyday life. She draws on approaches that address how attachments and past hurt shape current behaviour.

Clients commonly bring issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, avoidant personality traits and communication problems. Hania also supports people facing blended family challenges, caregiver stress, body image concerns and separation or divorce. She works with relationship topics such as commitment worries, control issues and family of origin difficulties.

Her work includes addressing the effects of domestic violence, dissociation and emptiness, and she offers parenting support informed by Circles of Security principles. The practical parts of her sessions can include skills for emotion regulation and strategies to reduce unhelpful thinking.

Hania speaks English and Arabic. She practises in Australia and works with adults seeking to make lasting change rather than quick fixes. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them and identify values to guide action. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and feelings that stop people from acting on what matters.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and behaviour in current relationships. It can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment difficulties and relationship patterns that feel stuck.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking. It often helps with stress, anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree which methods suit the person's goals and preferences, adjusting over time as needs change.

Confirm the exact online formats before booking since the biography does not list session types. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue regular sessions from different locations, and the therapist can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions.
