About Haanu

Haanu is a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting adults, children, adolescents, and families to navigate a wide range of mental health challenges. She is known for her warm, thoughtful approach and for creating a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported.

She works with adults, children, and teens experiencing anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), adjustment difficulties, neurodivergence, parenting challenges, and perinatal mental health concerns, including the emotional transitions of pregnancy and early parenthood.

Haanu offers evidence-based, attachment-centred therapy tailored to each individual’s developmental and emotional needs. Her approach integrates evidence-based and holistic care, drawing on therapies such as Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and nervous system-informed interventions. She works with an understanding that emotional wellbeing is shaped by the many interconnected systems within the body, including the nervous system, relationships, and broader life context. Therapy is offered as a space for safety, attunement, and co-regulation, supporting gradual and meaningful change. Her work with children often incorporates play-based approaches, while therapy with adolescents and adults is collaborative, strengths-focused, and practical. She takes a systemic approach, working closely with parents and, where helpful, liaising with schools and other key supports to create meaningful and lasting change.

Practising from a gender-affirming and neuro-affirming framework, Haanu values each person’s identity, strengths, and lived experience. Her goal is to support emotional safety, regulation, and resilience, helping clients and families build insight, confidence, and sustainable wellbeing over time.
