Hanat Balimuttajjo

Hanat Balimuttajjo is a counsellor with five years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and anger. She also supports people working through relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and major life changes. Hanat’s style is warm and respectful and she aims to meet each person where they are.

Hanat trained in the United States and now practises in the United Kingdom. She uses straightforward conversation to understand what is happening for a person and then works with them to set clear, manageable goals. She draws on approaches such as client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to shape practical steps people can try between sessions.

Her background includes counselling work across the USA, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and she brings that international experience into how she listens and plans therapy. Hanat emphasises cultural humility and treats people with sensitivity and compassion. She also offers coaching-style support for motivation and life transitions.

Sessions often focus on building coping skills for anxiety and stress, addressing addictive behaviours, and helping people find healthier ways to relate to themselves and others. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when people want direct, goal-oriented work.

Hanat holds the NCPS credential and works with adults on a range of concerns such as body image, guilt and shame, somatic symptoms, and issues linked to prejudice or multicultural stressors. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Hanat uses client-centred therapy to build understanding and trust. This approach focuses on the person's own goals and feelings, with the counsellor following the client's lead to clarify what matters and to support growth.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, anger and low mood by giving tools for everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Hanat works with people to decide which methods match their needs and preferences, and she adapts the plan as goals evolve. The aim is to combine listening with steps the person can try between sessions.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer online work to help people access consistent support across different locations.
