About Hania

Hania Masoud is a PACFA counsellor with eight years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and big life changes.

Hania uses several practical approaches in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that matter to them. Attachment-Based Therapy is part of her work for addressing early relationship patterns and how these show up in current connections.

Sessions are conversational and focused on making steady change. She helps people identify patterns such as avoidance, control issues, or dissociation, and then work on small behaviours that feel doable. For those dealing with parenting strain, she offers tools from Circles of Security Parenting to build more secure interactions with children.

Hania also supports people with complex issues like domestic violence, family of origin problems, abandonment and attachment wounds. She uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) where emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Her aim is to move beyond short-term fixes toward deeper integration and lasting change.

She works in English and Arabic. International clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Hania uses different approaches in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that reflect those values. It focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and decisions about career or relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour. Through practical exercises and behaviour experiments, CBT helps reduce unhelpful thinking patterns and build skills for day-to-day coping with stress and depression.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections. This approach can be useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, abandonment fears, blended family tensions or family of origin problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hania will discuss what fits a person’s goals and preferences and try different methods when needed. The process is collaborative - the client’s feedback helps shape which techniques are used and how sessions proceed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or study schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt exercises, skills practice and parenting tools to an online setting to suit everyday life and commitments.
