Hanan Abubasheer

Hanan Abubasheer is an ACA counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She brings three years of clinical and community experience to sessions and speaks English and Arabic. Hanan aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters and start practical changes.

Her background combines counselling, psychology, social work and health promotion. That mix means she uses practical techniques and clear communication rather than jargon. Hanan has worked both in Australia and overseas, which informs a cross-cultural approach to care.

In a session she listens closely, helps people name what they are feeling, and then looks at small steps to feel steadier. Topics she often supports include self-esteem, body image, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and workplace stress. She also supports people working through loneliness, guilt and relationship communication problems.

Hanan often focuses on everyday skills - breathing or grounding for panic, planning for big life changes, and strategies for forgiving or rebuilding self-worth. She explains options and helps people pick what suits their goals. Sessions aim to be practical and understandable, not full of technical terms.

People interested in women's issues may find her experience relevant, as this is one of her stated areas of focus. To begin, clients follow the platform start process and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic methods translate to online support

Hanan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and regain control. One commonly used approach is cognitive skills work, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more helpful ways of thinking; this can be useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Another frequent focus is skills-based emotion regulation and grounding techniques, which teach practical ways to reduce immediate distress during panic attacks or flashbacks.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they choose methods and adjust them as progress is made so sessions match the client's needs.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from work or home during a break. Phone sessions can require less bandwidth and be a simpler option when a shorter check-in is needed. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when scheduling to find what works best for everyday routines.
