Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Hania directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and behavioural approaches work online
Hania combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people untangle unhelpful stories and build new ways of living. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and others, helping separate a person from a problem and open space for alternatives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to find what fits a person's goals, preferences and day-to-day realities. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted so techniques match the issues that matter most to the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or want regular, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with appropriately qualified therapists.
