About Hana
Hana Blahova is an ACA counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, trauma and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and helps clients notice the strengths they already have. Hana aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy.
Hana sees each person as the expert in their own life story. She uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problem stories and to find alternative meanings.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred ways of working to focus on values and what matters to the individual. Sessions commonly involve talking about daily struggles and identifying small, practical steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness approaches are used when helpful to change unhelpful thought patterns and build calm.
Hana prefers short, clear tasks and practices that can be tried between sessions. Across six years of work in Australia, she has supported people dealing with life changes, caregiver stress, career uncertainty and post-traumatic stress. She pays attention to attachment patterns and self-love as part of broader healing and growth.
Hana aims for a warm, non-judgemental space where people can test new ways of thinking and acting. She encourages honest, focused conversation and collaborative planning so progress feels achievable.

Online session options
How narrative and values-based approaches work online
Hana commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and to rewrite unhelpful stories. This can help when old patterns or labels feel stuck and you want new ways of seeing yourself. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work and focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them. ACT is helpful for anxiety, stress and navigating life changes where action matters more than perfect thinking.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Hana will work collaboratively to see which methods fit your goals and preferences. She listens first, then suggests practical steps and exercises you can try between sessions, and adapts methods as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit people with lower bandwidth, and messaging can fit a quick check-in or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and everyday life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
