Hanat has been incredibly supportive, making each session both engaging and insightful. She uses a variety of techniques in her approach, so our time together is always engaging and never feels repetitive. Hanat is direct, professional, and perceptive, consistently asking the right questions that encourage me to explore deeper layers of myself. At the same time, her sense of humor and warm laughter add a touch of lightness, making it easier to tackle difficult topics. She has truly helped me uncover my authentic self, providing tools and guidance that allow me to examine my behaviors and patterns honestly. Thanks to her, I feel empowered to do the work and continue growing personally.
