About Hania

Hania Masoud offers practical support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about the next step. She listens without judgement and helps clients find steadier ground when life feels chaotic. Her calm, direct style suits those who want clear tools alongside deeper emotional work.

Hania draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters and take small, values-led steps. She uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to repair connection with self and others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) methods are used where skills and structure can help reduce intense emotions and unhelpful thinking.

Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties, and includes work around trauma and abuse. Hania also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career shifts, low self-esteem, intimacy issues and major life changes. She pays attention to attachment wounds, abandonment and family-of-origin patterns that often shape today’s struggles.

Hania has eight years’ experience and holds PACFA accreditation. She offers sessions in English and Arabic for people living in Australia. International clients are not accepted at this time.

How Hania’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It suits people facing life changes, low motivation or decision fatigue. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and supports building safer ways of relating to oneself and others. This approach is often useful for intimacy difficulties, abandonment wounds and family-of-origin issues.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Hania will discuss your goals and preferences and try different methods to find what fits. The process is collaborative and paced to your needs so that you can learn new skills while also addressing deeper emotional material.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so regular work on issues is easier. Online work can make short check-ins or focussed skills practice simpler when life is hectic. The profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
