About Hana
Hana Blahova is an ACA counsellor who focuses on creating a warm, respectful space where people feel heard. She believes each person knows their story best and works alongside them to build on strengths. Hana speaks plainly and keeps sessions practical, helping clients take small, manageable steps forward.
With six years of experience she has supported people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps those dealing with trauma and abuse, and people navigating parenting stresses. Work often centres on improving self-esteem, motivation and confidence so everyday life feels easier to manage.
Hana uses Client-Centred Therapy as a foundation, offering an accepting, non-judgemental stance while clients lead the pace. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to offer tools for coping and changing unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness and Narrative therapy ideas are used where they fit the person’s goals.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused. Hana helps people clarify what matters to them and then choose steps that match those values. She aims for practical strategies that feel realistic alongside compassionate listening.
If someone is unsure about therapy, Hana encourages a short initial step. Signing up to learn more and complete the matching questionnaire is the way to begin.
How Hana’s approaches translate to online work
Hana blends Client-Centred Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tailor sessions to each person. Client-Centred Therapy means she starts by listening and following the client’s lead, helping people feel understood before deciding what to try. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking small steps aligned with them, which can help with motivation and coping. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety and low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Hana will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative approach allows techniques to be adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work and caregiving commitments, and it can reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when energy is low, while others like video for face-to-face conversation; Hana will help figure out what suits each person’s routine and goals.
