What Our Clients Say

H. H.

Individual Therapy Client

"I had my very first counselling sessions with Hania, I was undergoing a lot stress and depression, and felt vulnerable. Hania was very professional, and counselled me to take me out of a difficult phase of my life, through exercises and demos that really worked wonders. Throughout, Hania showed empathy and dedication. I would easily recommend her hands down"

A. M.

Individual Therapy Client

"I consider Hania to be the best counsellor in Australia. Her amazing combination of energy, helpfulness, and extensive experience makes her exceptional in her field. Following my experience with domestic violence in 2019, which left my life in turmoil, Hania provided consistent support through every stage of my recovery. Her guidance helped me develop such strength and resilience that I was eventually able to enter into a healthy marriage again with a wondeful man. Hania truly embodies compassion, offering genuine help from the depths of her heart. I strongly recommend her."

K. L.

Individual Therapy Client

"Spending time with hania, I experienced much more than just counselling, I felt I was gifted an Angel. Where other therapists failed me, I was blessed when Hania entered my life bringing sincere kindness and warmth. Effortlessly welcoming me to her, Hania immediately offered me safety, genuine compassion and nurturing care. Like a true Angel, Hania's faith embraced me with light and joy, her knowledge and wisdom calmed and guided my thoughts into a healthier practice. Hania gave me the strength, tools and ability to help me find myself after being truly lost. I will forever be truly grateful to have met Hania."

A. A.

Individual Therapy Client

"Every time I talk to Hania, I feel that I become better at organising my thoughts and valuing myself more. Applying practical and simple techniques has improved my mood. I feel more confident and capable of facing life's challenges, living in the moment, and seeing the positive aspects of my life. I am constantly changing for the better."

F. A.

Individual Therapy Client

"Hania is amazing at what she does. She has been welcoming and helpful in any aspect possible. I am grateful to have met such an empowering woman."

N. M.

Individual Therapy Client

"When I first started counselling with Ms. Hania, I was facing significant difficulties and challenges over the past few years and I had court matters to deal with. I initially thought counselling would help relieve my stress and anxiety. However, I discovered that all this stress, fear, and constant anxiety stemmed from childhood traumas. Through counselling, I smoothly and progressively healed from these traumas. During my darkest moments when I felt like giving up, my counsellor Hania supported me, encouraged me, and helped me heal. I cannot describe how thankful I am to her. I believe my counselling sessions with Hania changed my life in a positive way."

S. Q.

Individual Therapy Client

"I received the most amazing support for my postpartum depression and anxiety from Hania — I can't thank her enough. She helped our family navigate through difficult conversations and generational trauma, and guided us on how to improve our marriage after having our baby. Her sessions have made me feel so much better mentally and emotionally. I don't know what I would have done without her support."
