Hana Ibrahim, BACP

Hana Ibrahim is a qualified counsellor with three years of professional practice who brings focused experience as a CBT therapist to her work. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and a range of anxiety disorders, as well as depression, relationship and family difficulties. Her practice also covers self-esteem and confidence, motivation, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns and challenges related to ADHD and life changes.

Hana creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely, and she collaborates with clients to identify practical ways forward. She believes taking the first step toward change requires courage and aims to empower people as they pursue a more fulfilling and happier life. Hana holds the BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects adherence to professional standards and ongoing development.

Working with Hana, clients can expect evidence-based techniques tailored to their needs, with attention to communication, coping skills and relationship dynamics. Her approach balances emotional understanding with practical strategies so that clients can build resilience and change patterns that limit their wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is a core part of Hana's practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replacing them with more helpful patterns, making it effective for stress, anxiety, panic and depression. It typically uses structured conversations and practical exercises to build coping skills over time.

Alongside CBT, Hana uses skills-based techniques that help clients manage overwhelming emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. These practical strategies can include problem solving, relaxation and communication skills, and are useful for relationship issues, parenting challenges and workplace stress.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Hana works with clients to understand their goals, preferences and life context, and adapts methods so the therapy fits each person's needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Hana is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or work and to continue support through life transitions, while allowing sessions to focus on practical progress and emotional wellbeing.
