Hawaa Dajan

Hawaa Dajan supports adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. She also helps with low self-esteem and relationship concerns, including separation and divorce. Her approach is warm and collaborative, with a focus on clear goals and practical skills.

Hawaa has three years of experience working in community mental health and telehealth. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behaviour strategies, and trauma-informed care to guide sessions. She uses these methods to help people make sense of difficult feelings and build everyday coping skills.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Hawaa helps clients identify patterns that cause distress, try small behavioural changes, and practise new ways of responding. She aims to balance real-world strategies with space to reflect on painful experiences.

People can expect a non-judgemental, steady presence in sessions. Hawaa emphasises strengths and works at the client’s pace, helping them set achievable steps toward clearer thinking and better emotional regulation.

Her background in community services means she is familiar with practical pressures like caregiving stress, cultural adjustment, and midlife transitions. She tailors support to each person’s situation and priorities, with a focus on usable tools that fit everyday life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Hawaa uses a small set of evidence-based techniques to address emotional pain and everyday stress. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and commitment ideas encourage noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that reflect personal values. Dialectical behaviour strategies teach practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication. Trauma-informed care shapes how conversations are paced and how past experiences are discussed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hawaa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and try methods that fit those aims. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what helps and what needs adjusting.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. They also allow follow-up and practice between meetings, and let people use quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. Appropriately registered therapists tailor session length and pace so counselling fits into everyday life.
