This is the second time I have seen Hana, after a short break. I find her easy to work with and especially good at recalling past situations in context such that each session flows nicely into the other. She is knowledgeable , supportive and understanding; and friendly/personable but always professional. We have a good relationship and she acknowledges what my capacity for self-awareness- but also our limitations as humans , which is inspiring and realistic for my growth and path to understanding myself and others.

More about Hana
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a therapist credentialed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I have been working with adults whose past difficulties and traumatic experiences create barriers to fully embrace and enjoy the present. I provide a non-judgemental, safe and accepting place to work through your childhood/adolescent trauma, anxiety, depression or other challenges.
I use primarily person centred approach focusing on awareness of current experiences as well as psychodynamic approach to explore and make sense of the past. This combo of approaches will allow you to unpack your issues at your own pace and will make you feel seen, heard and understood no matter how messy or disorganised your challenges might be. Understanding how your family patterns of relating or past trauma impacts your present day experiences will help you to gain deeper insight into what is stopping you from moving forward.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I am looking forward working with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Really great listener, very empathetic
Hana is absolutely amazing! She genuinely cares and is empathic. She has a wonderful way of encouraging you to think and understand why you feel in a certain way in gentle way. Even from our first session, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. Easily one of the best things I’ve done this year is starting sessions with Hana.
Hana is a fantastic therapist. She listens carefully and creates a safe, comfortable environment for sharing. She says exactly the right thing at this right time and is genuinely passionate about helping you.
I really enjoyed my first session with Hana, I felt she listened well and I was able to share thoughts openly with her. Thank you!
Hana is extremely knowledgeable and understanding. The sessions always run so smoothly and always end on a positive.
Hana has been a very good match for me as she is: a quick thinker, compassionate, intelligent, realistic in terms of quickly deciphering how deep a problem needs talking about , brilliant at listening and understanding, and offers techniques and theory to proactively help manage situations.
