About Hawaa
Hawaa Dajan is a registered psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and has three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She also helps people struggling with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.
Hawaa uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people understand their thoughts and feelings. She draws on cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment methods, dialectical behaviour tools and trauma-informed ways of working. Sessions focus on skill-building, clearer thinking and manageable actions for daily life.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. Hawaa aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps. Conversations are direct and respectful with an emphasis on useful strategies rather than long explanations.
She has worked in community mental health and telehealth settings, which has involved short-term and ongoing work with adults. That background means she is used to helping people make changes they can use outside sessions, for example at university, work or home.
If you are navigating the pressure of early adulthood - leaving home, starting a first job, study stress, or feeling behind - Hawaa lists young adult issues among the concerns she supports. To begin, follow the site’s matching and booking steps to set up an initial session.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Hawaa works with a few well-known evidence-based techniques. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teach practical strategies for anxiety and depression. Acceptance and commitment methods help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for feelings of emptiness or low self-worth.She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal skills, and trauma-informed ways of working to reduce reactivity and support recovery after abuse or traumatic events. These approaches are described simply in sessions and practised with short exercises or homework.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hawaa will help clients and therapists collaboratively decide which techniques fit a person's goals, needs and preferences. She checks what’s helping and adjusts the focus over time rather than sticking to one method.
