Hanan Abubasheer

Hanan Abubasheer is an ACA counsellor with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Hanan speaks English and Arabic and brings local and international experience to her work.

She combines counselling, psychology, social work and health-promotion skills in practical sessions. That can mean talking through difficult memories, practising ways to manage panic or building steady routines for low mood. Hanan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide those conversations rather than relying on labels alone.

Clients often come for help with body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation or finding a clearer sense of life purpose. She also supports people dealing with workplace stress, social anxiety and women’s issues. Sessions focus on concrete steps and small changes that can reduce overwhelm.

Hanan’s background includes research assistance and health education work. Those roles inform how she explains ideas and offers exercises between sessions. Her cross-cultural experience shapes how she listens and adapts strategies to different life circumstances.

People meet practical tools and direct conversation in her sessions. The emphasis is on figuring out manageable next steps, checking what works, and adjusting the approach as needed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Evidence-based techniques for life direction and resilience

Hanan works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood, and they include straightforward exercises to test new ways of thinking. Exposure-based strategies support gradual steps to reduce avoidance in panic or social anxiety by practising manageable, repeated actions.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Hanan will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person’s needs and goals, adjusting methods over time based on what helps most. Clients are treated as active partners in choosing tasks and setting the pace.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Those practical benefits often help people keep regular contact with a counsellor while they test new ways of coping.
