Background and approach

That international background shapes a culturally aware approach. Her sessions focus on the body as well as the mind. Somatic therapy is used alongside talking therapies to notice how stress and trauma show up physically.

She combines that with client-centred listening so people feel heard and in charge of their progress. Practical tools are part of the work. Cognitive behavioural techniques help break unhelpful thinking patterns.

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used to build small, realistic steps and steady momentum. Hanat aims to tailor each meeting to what a person needs right now. She keeps plans clear and doable, and checks in about what is working.

The goal is steady change people can use in everyday life, not quick fixes.

How somatic and conversational approaches work online

Somatic Therapy focuses on how emotions and stress appear in the body. Online sessions can include gentle breath work, grounding exercises and guided attention to bodily sensations to reduce tension and help process trauma. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the session through active listening and empathy, helping people name their goals and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change thought patterns and behaviours, using homework and short experiments to test new ways of coping.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods together to see what fits. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives flexibility for busy lives and differing comfort levels. People can choose real-time video for in-depth conversation, use phone sessions when on the move, or pick chat and messaging for brief check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapeutic tools in everyday moments.
