Hi! My name is Mina Hanna, and I am completing my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology with the goal of becoming a professional counsellor. My path into counselling grew out of personal experiences of growth, cultural transition, and a deep curiosity about the human mind and resilience.

Before counselling, I worked as a medical doctor and later in the insurance risk sector, where I learned to recognize patterns, assess risk, and appreciate each person’s unique story beyond the data. Over time, I realized my true passion lies not in evaluation, but in helping others make sense of their experiences, find meaning, and build emotional balance.

Having immigrated to Canada, I understand the emotional complexities of adapting to a new culture, redefining identity, and balancing personal and professional life. This experience allows me to connect deeply with immigrants, refugees, men navigating emotional change, and individuals facing relationship or career transitions.

My Therapeutic Approach:

In my practice, I prefer to integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Adlerian and Psychodynamic approaches, along with Gestalt and Psychodrama principles to deepen awareness and foster self-understanding through experience and reflection.

My approach is human-centred, collaborative, and strength-based, supporting clients in reconnecting with their inner resources and creating meaningful, lasting change.

Population that I prefer working with:

I welcome working with anyone adults, young adults, teens, LGBTQ, indigenous, immigrants and anyone who feels aligned with my services

Working with me, you would learn to….

Living every morning as a new beginning

Fun Facts:

Outside of counselling, I’m passionate about running, podcasting, and creative storytelling. I believe life is a mix of sweetness and struggle, what I call la vita agrodolce, and I help clients find growth and clarity within that balance.
