About Hoda
Hoda Hannaway is an AASW social worker with 10 years of experience supporting people in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, depression and coping with life changes, and she lists guilt and shame among the concerns she addresses.
Hoda uses practical conversations to help people sort through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on clear steps and everyday language rather than jargon. She draws on evidence-based techniques and person-centred ideas to keep the work relevant to what matters now.
Her background includes managing family mental health services and running parenting workshops. That experience shapes how she helps people facing communication problems, role changes and the strain of caregiving. She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and cancer-related stress.
Attachment-informed ideas feature in her work, along with solution-focused strategies that aim to identify workable changes. When relationship trust or communication has broken down, she helps people map what went wrong and try new patterns. Sessions also address body image, codependency and commitment issues when those things tie into guilt or shame.
Hoda frames the work as collaborative and practical. She helps people set small goals, test changes between sessions and reflect on what helps. People are encouraged to book through the service matching process and schedule a first session once they have completed the questionnaire.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Hoda draws on person-centred work that centres the client's priorities and current goals. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so people can identify what matters and decide which changes to try. It is useful for sorting through guilt or shame tied to identity and relationships.She also uses solution-focused strategies which concentrate on small, practical steps. These are short-term actions to test between sessions, useful when someone wants concrete changes in communication or coping. Attachment-informed ideas are used to understand how relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions, which helps when guilt or shame is linked to trust or closeness.
Figuring out the best approach is a collaborative process. Hoda will work with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single technique. The approach can be adjusted as the work progresses so sessions stay focused on what helps most.
The original biography does not list which online formats are used, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency and apply changes between sessions.
