Hanat Balimuttajjo, NCPS

Hanat Balimuttajjo is a USA-trained, trauma-informed counselor and Positive Intelligence Coach based in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counseling credential that reflects her training and clinical preparation. With three years of direct counseling experience and additional professional work across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the USA, she brings a broad cultural perspective to her practice.

Hanat works with people facing alcohol and chemical dependency, stress and anxiety, intrapersonal relationship and self-development concerns, and challenges tied to motivation and major life transitions. She also supports clients in establishing healthier relationships, including the relationship they have with themselves. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, compassion, and cultural humility, and she adapts conversations and interventions to meet each person’s unique needs.

Beginning therapy requires courage, and Hanat frames the work as collaborative. She partners with clients to define goals and to develop a tailored plan that aims to move a presenting difficulty toward a clearer, more hopeful path. Her practice blends trauma-informed care with practical strategies to support lasting change.

Client-Centered and Mindful Online Support

Hanat incorporates client-centered therapy, which places the person’s experience at the center of sessions and focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting self-directed growth. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding and strengthening relationships with oneself and others.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers tools to reframe unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. In addition, mindfulness therapy supports developing present-moment awareness and stress reduction through simple attention and breathing practices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hanat collaborates with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to suit each client’s situation.

Online therapy with Hanat is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These options aim to increase accessibility and flexibility so therapy can continue even when in-person meetings are not possible.
