About Hanat
Hanat Balimuttajjo helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or major life changes. She supports those struggling with depression, grief, anger, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Hanat also assists people facing trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and issues around body image and self-love.
Hanat uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working. She listens first and asks practical questions to find what matters most to the individual. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit everyday life rather than long lists of tasks.
How Hanat works
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused methods to spot patterns and test new strategies. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing help clients find steadying habits and stronger motivation. Conversations may include exploring thoughts, habits and simple bodily awareness exercises.
Hanat has five years of counselling experience and holds the NCPS credential. She has worked in multiple countries and brings cultural sensitivity to sessions. That background helps when people are navigating prejudice, multicultural stress or life transitions.
Work with Hanat usually begins by identifying a clear goal and a few practical steps to try between meetings. Over time those small changes add up to better coping, clearer choices and more self-compassion. She welcomes people who want coaching-style support as well as traditional counselling.
Sessions are offered in English and Hanat is based in the United Kingdom. She accepts international clients and can meet by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

How Hanat's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects what matters and helps them set goals that feel doable. This approach helps when someone needs time to feel understood before making changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves spotting unhelpful patterns and trying small experiments to see what changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to each person's needs and preferences. Decisions about techniques and goals are made collaboratively so people feel involved and clear about next steps.
Online therapy brings practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, need frequent brief check-ins, or want support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments, keeping continuity even when life is busy.
