Rate Hoda Hannaway

I’m Hoda Hannaway, I'm a Australian qualified and dedicated Social Worker and counsellor with over a decade of experience supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children, young people, and their families. My work is driven by a deep commitment to helping young individuals and their caregivers navigate challenges with confidence, resilience, and practical tools.

My expertise includes:

Child and adolescent mental health: Providing individual therapy tailored to young people’s emotional, social, and developmental needs.

Family-centred care: Collaborating with parents and carers to strengthen relationships and create supportive home environments.

Psycho-educational workshops: Designing and facilitating group programs on topics like anxiety management, self-esteem, healthy relationships, and bullying—equipping participants with skills for lifelong wellbeing.*

With a background in trauma-informed practice, attachment theory (including Circle of Security), and solution-focused therapy, I blend evidence-based approaches with creativity and compassion. Whether through one-on-one sessions or dynamic group workshops, I prioritize safety, inclusion, and measurable progress.

My experience spans:

- Crisis intervention and safety planning for families in distress.

- School-based workshops addressing social issues affecting youth.

- Parenting support programs, such as PPP (Positive Parenting Program).

If your child is struggling, or your family needs guidance, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to foster growth and connection. Together, we’ll build strategies to thrive—not just cope.
