About Hana
Hana Blahova is an ACA counsellor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy for stress, anxiety and life changes. She encourages people to notice their strengths and use them to face difficult moments. Hana writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is uncertain or worried.
Hana uses short, conversational sessions that help people talk through what matters most right now. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to build skills for coping with worry and low mood.
How Hana works
Mindfulness and narrative techniques are woven in to help people notice patterns and rethink unhelpful stories about themselves. She has six years of experience working with concerns such as parenting stress, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and career uncertainty. Her approach keeps things simple and focused: identify a problem, try a practical change, review how it went, and adjust the plan.
This helps people make steady progress without getting overwhelmed. Hana supports people dealing with attachment difficulties, caregiver stress and post-traumatic stress by breaking down goals into small, achievable steps. Sessions aim to strengthen self-love and purpose while building everyday coping tools.
She values collaboration and helps people choose techniques that suit their life. Practical details are handled clearly: sessions can be online by video or phone, or through live chat and text messaging. Hana reminds people that starting therapy is a step worth celebrating and she is there to guide the process at a steady pace.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and major life changes because it focuses on small, value-driven steps rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours to reduce worry and improve mood. It is well suited to stress, anxiety and depression where skill practice can change daily routines and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of therapy and will be decided together. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process lets people shape treatment around real life needs and commitments.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone is handy when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and day-to-day life while still using ACT, CBT and mindfulness-based exercises in a practical way.
