2. How Hanat uses evidence-based approaches online

   Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses strengths and gentle questioning to build motivation, which can be useful for addiction, procrastination and life transitions.
   
   Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s goals and perspective at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the client decide what matters most and how to move forward.
   
   Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain stress or mood problems. It helps people try small experiments and practical steps to test new ways of coping.
   
   Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then use one or a mix of approaches to match what the person needs. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress is made.
   
   Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes connecting possible for people who live overseas, while the counsellor and client agree on scheduling and practical arrangements.
