About Hanat
Hanat Balimuttajjo is a NCPS counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and self-esteem concerns, and supports those coping with grief, trauma and major life changes.
She writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Hanat uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred conversations and solution-focused techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable parts and build clear next steps.
Her background includes practice across different countries, which informs how she talks about multicultural concerns and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. That experience also shapes work on identity, life purpose, and the strain people feel when adjusting to new environments.
Hanat often works with people dealing with addictions, alcohol and drug problems, and related guilt, shame or impulsivity. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, somatic symptoms, body image struggles and control issues by combining practical strategies with motivating conversation.
Practical coaching techniques are used when clients want help with motivation and goal-setting. She encourages tracking small wins, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans when needed. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to agree priorities and next steps.
How cognitive and practical methods work online
Hanat uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. CBT sessions often include simple experiments, thought records and small behavioural steps to try between meetings, which can be discussed and adjusted remotely.She also draws on client-centred techniques that focus on listening and reflecting to clarify goals, and on motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck. Those methods help with motivation, addictions, and making clearer plans for next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hanat treats selecting methods as a collaborative process and will agree what to try based on the person's goals and preferences. She reviews what helps, drops what does not, and adjusts plans together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Practical benefits include being able to review worksheets or homework between sessions and to schedule meetings around work or family commitments.
