About Hanat
Hanat Balimuttajjo is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, stress, anxiety and addiction find steadier ground. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to feel better. Hanat offers straightforward, compassionate support and helps clients make useful changes over time.
Hanat trained in the United States and practices in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential and brings five years of counselling experience alongside earlier work in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the USA.
Background and approach
That international background shapes a culturally aware approach to care. Sessions begin with a short conversation about what matters most to the client. Hanat listens closely and helps clarify goals.
She uses simple, goal-focused techniques drawn from client-centred work and cognitive behavioural approaches to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are used to help people manage stress, mood and daily challenges. Motivational interviewing supports those working on addictions or behaviour change by exploring readiness and next steps.
Hanat adapts these methods to the person in front of her rather than following a rigid plan. People come for help with relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, trauma-related concerns, anger and career or life transitions. She also offers coaching-style support for clarity, purpose and motivation.
Her aim is practical progress and a clearer sense of direction. Conversations take place in plain language and move at a pace each person can handle. Hanat encourages small, manageable experiments between sessions so improvements can be noticed and built on.

Online support
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. CBT is practical and helps with low mood, anxiety and managing day-to-day symptoms.
Motivational interviewing may be used for people considering change around addiction or habits. It focuses on exploring motivation, weighing options and moving forward at a chosen pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hanat will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the client’s situation. Decisions are made collaboratively and can be adjusted as progress is seen.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging offers short check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel and support flexible ways to keep momentum between sessions.
