Hana Blahova

Hana Blahova is an ACA counsellor in Australia with six years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting strains, low self-esteem, life changes, trauma and abuse, and career uncertainty. Hana also focuses on attachment issues, caregiver stress, post-traumatic stress and questions about life purpose. She speaks English and uses clear, practical ways of working.

Hana sees the person as the expert on their own life. Sessions are conversational and grounded. She listens to what matters most, then helps people test small changes that can make daily life easier. Typical sessions include noticing patterns of thought and behaviour and practising simple tools in the week between meetings.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. That mix is used to help with worry, mood, motivation and recovering from difficult events. Hana often uses mindfulness exercises and behaviour-focused tasks that fit into a busy week.

Hana has experience supporting parents and caregivers who feel overwhelmed by responsibilities. She also offers work on self-esteem and career doubts for people unsure what comes next. She aims to help people build clearer priorities and steadier routines rather than promising a specific outcome.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The process is practical and focused on what can change in everyday life.

How Hana uses evidence-based methods in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions in that direction even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable. It is often used for anxiety, life-purpose questions and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours to change mood and functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, person-led conversation where the counsellor follows the client’s concerns and reflects what they say to build clearer thinking and choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hana will discuss the different methods and together they will decide which fits the client’s goals, needs and week-to-week life. That collaborative choice can change over time as practical results emerge.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep therapy going after a life change, because sessions can be arranged around work and caregiving commitments rather than strict travel schedules. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT, CBT and client-centred techniques to online sessions to keep the work focused and practical.
