About Hania

Hania Masoud is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with eight years' experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, parenting strain, grief and the after-effects of trauma. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic and are aimed at people who want clearer relationships and steadier day-to-day coping.

She focuses on practical ways to reduce overwhelm and improve connection. That can mean learning skills to manage strong feelings, changing patterns that repeat in relationships, or looking at how early attachment shapes adult behaviour. Hania uses a mix of cognitive and emotion-focused approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful reactions.

She also works with concerns often linked to family life. These include blended family issues, caregiving stress, family of origin problems, communication difficulties and separation or divorce. Parenting questions are a regular part of her work, including support around attachment, abandonment worries and developing more secure parent-child interactions.

Hania draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred and emotion-focused methods. In practice this means short-term coping strategies alongside conversations about values, boundaries and long-standing patterns. She mentions experience with domestic violence, dissociation, avoidant personality features and body image concerns when relevant to a person's current goals.

Her notice about fees says cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people follow the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the 'See online therapy options' button.

How sessions work

How Hania works with approaches in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on values and small behavioural steps that move someone toward what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connection and trust. It helps people recognise patterns that repeat in close relationships and build healthier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hania will discuss different methods with the person and together they choose what fits the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process may combine skill-based exercises, reflective conversations about relationships, and short home tasks to try between sessions.

The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can help make therapy fit into everyday life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work, and offering an option when someone prefers not to be on camera. Appropriately qualified therapists adapt their methods to suit each person's schedule and practical needs.
