Hanat Balimuttajjo , NCPS

Hanat Balimuttajjo is a UK-based, USA-trained counselor and Positive Intelligence Coach who holds NCPS, a professional counseling credential that indicates formal training in counseling practices. With five years of counseling experience and additional professional work in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the USA, she brings a global perspective to her practice and to the clients she supports.

Hanat works with people facing a range of concerns including alcohol and chemical dependency, stress and anxiety, relationship and self-development challenges, motivation and life transitions, and the process of building healthier relationships with others and with oneself. She applies a trauma-aware stance and integrates approaches that support both immediate coping and longer-term growth.

Known for treating people with respect, sensitivity, compassion, and cultural humility, Hanat adapts her language and therapeutic responses to each person’s unique needs. She focuses on collaborative planning so that presenting problems can be transformed into clear, attainable goals. Her practice emphasizes practical skills for managing difficult emotions and developing healthier patterns, while also attending to deeper issues such as trauma, grief, and self-esteem.

Client-centered, CBT, and mindfulness for online support

Hanat commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client in finding their own solutions - it is helpful for building self-understanding and strengthening personal agency. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation, which often complements other approaches.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hanat works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor a plan that blends methods when appropriate. This collaborative stance helps ensure the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Hanat is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, accommodate busy lives, and support continuity of care when in-person options are limited.
