About Hana
Hana Blahova is an ACA counsellor in Australia with six years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, motivation and confidence, trauma and abuse, depression, and career concerns. Hana also focuses on attachment issues, caregiver stress, post-traumatic stress and questions of life purpose.
Hana works from the view that each person is the expert in their own story. She listens for strengths and practical options clients already have. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify small, achievable steps rather than big, immediate changes.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred ways of working. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, try new behaviours, and clarify what matters to them. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are also used to help people slow down and reframe difficult experiences.
People who are feeling stuck after a relationship change, job shift or health issue may find the sessions useful for sorting priorities and testing next steps. Hana encourages straightforward planning and regular review of what is or is not working. She asks practical questions and supports people to experiment with new ways of coping.
Initial contact is through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session. The counsellor notes that starting therapy often takes courage and she aims to make the first steps clear and manageable.
How Hana uses therapeutic approaches online
Hana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can help with life purpose questions and motivation. CBT involves noticing thought patterns that keep problems going and trying small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses client-centred methods to keep the conversation grounded in what matters to the client. That means she listens and adapts tasks and exercises to the person’s goals. Choosing the right approach is collaborative and may change over several sessions as goals and preferences become clearer.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and saving travel time. Because the exact session formats are not specified in her profile, confirm the available options before booking. The focus online is the same as in person: clear goals, short experiments and regular review so therapy fits into everyday life.
