Hello, I’m Hoda Hannaway, a compassionate and experienced Social Worker/Counsellor with over 10 years of expertise in mental health support, crisis intervention, and relationship counselling. My practice is rooted in empowering couples to navigate challenges with resilience, understanding, and renewed connection.
I specialise in:
Strengths-based therapy, helping you identify and build on the positives in your relationship.
Person-centred approaches, ensuring your unique needs and goals guide our sessions.
Evidence-based techniques, drawing from trauma-informed care, attachment theory (such as the Circle of Security), and solution-focused strategies to support meaningful change.
My background includes managing family mental health services, facilitating parenting workshops, and providing crisis support to diverse communities. I’ve worked extensively with couples and families facing communication breakdowns, life transitions, and emotional distress—always with a focus on collaboration and practical tools.
Whether you’re seeking to rebuild trust, improve communication, or strengthen your partnership, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your relationship dynamics. Together, we’ll work toward your relationship goals and personal growth, tailored to your shared vision for the future.
Let’s take the first step toward the relationship goals that matter to you. I also have experience supporting people coping with life changes. I work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
