Hanat Balimuttajjo, NCPS

Hanat Balimuttajjo is a USA-trained, trauma-informed credentialed Counselor and Positive Intelligence Coach now based in the United Kingdom. She brings three years of counseling experience alongside professional work in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United States, supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Hanat has helped clients address alcohol and chemical dependency, manage stress and anxiety, navigate intrapersonal relationship and self-development concerns, find motivation during transitions, and establish healthier relationships - including the relationship with oneself. Her background blends trauma-informed practice with coaching skills to offer both compassionate listening and practical strategies for change.

Hanat emphasizes respect, sensitivity, compassion, and cultural humility in her work. She tailors conversations and therapeutic responses to each person’s specific circumstances, and she partners with clients to create realistic plans that move a presenting issue toward a more hopeful outcome. She acknowledges the courage involved in beginning therapy and aims to make the process collaborative and strengths-focused.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Hanat uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client's own goals and values guide the work. This approach supports people who want to explore self-development, relationships, and identity while feeling heard and validated.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and structured, and it is often useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and certain addictive behaviors.

Mindfulness therapy is another element of her practice, teaching present-moment awareness and simple attention skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hanat works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Hanat offers flexible access to registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, connect across distances, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
