About Hania
Hania Masoud is a PACFA-registered counsellor working in Australia with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting and other family-related concerns, including family of origin issues and attachment difficulties. She works with people who want clearer patterns in their relationships and more confidence in how they parent and connect.
Hania uses practical talk and evidence-informed methods to help people notice how earlier family roles and expectations still shape their choices. Sessions look at patterns such as avoidance, control, communication problems and problems with intimacy. She also addresses grief, anger, body-image concerns and career-related stress when those link back to family experience.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build skills for coping. Attachment-based work is used to map patterns of closeness, distance and trust that come from early relationships. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are introduced where emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Hania blends talking therapy with practical exercises, breathing and grounding techniques, and step-by-step behavioural experiments. She offers clear explanations and short practices to try between sessions so people can test new ways of relating and responding.
She offers appointments in English and Arabic and works from an Australian practice context. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to decide goals and next steps together.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Hania commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than get stuck in worry or avoidance. Attachment-based work maps how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness, trust and conflict, which is useful for family of origin concerns and intimacy issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hania will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That means reviewing what helps, trying approaches for a few sessions, and adjusting the plan based on what feels useful.
The practical aim of online sessions is to fit therapy into everyday life. If you plan to proceed, please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy week, remove travel time, or choose sessions that suit different energy levels such as doing breathing and grounding exercises together or focusing on talk-based problem solving.
