Hawaa Dajan, AHPRA

Hawaa Dajan is a registered psychologist with three years of experience working across community mental health and telehealth settings. She supports adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges and low self-esteem, and draws on evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person.

Hawaa integrates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed methods to help people make sense of their experiences and build practical skills. Her approach is warm and collaborative, focused on the goals a person brings to therapy and on strengthening their existing resources.

In sessions Hawaa aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can explore difficult emotions at a pace that feels manageable. She works alongside clients to identify patterns, practice new strategies and develop tools that support longer-term wellbeing. Hawaa is listed with AHPRA, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, which indicates her registration as a practising psychologist in Australia.

Whether someone is seeking short-term support for a specific issue or longer-term work on deeper patterns, Hawaa offers practical, goal-centred care delivered with empathy and respect.

Evidence-based approaches for online psychological care

Hawaa commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help people recognise and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and skill-focused, and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related concerns.

She also draws on trauma-informed approaches that prioritise safety, pacing and an understanding of how past experiences affect present-day reactions. These methods support people working through trauma, grief and relationship-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Hawaa works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques best fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy with Hawaa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to access appropriately qualified or registered professionals from home or other convenient locations, and allow sessions to be arranged around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
