Hanan Dover is a Clinical Psychologist, Forensic Psychologist, and Psychologist based in Bankstown, NSW. She works out of Civic Tower, Level 8, Suite 3, 66-72 Rickard Road, Bankstown NSW 2200.
In day-to-day practice, Hanan provides therapy for people who want support with their mental health and wellbeing. That can include things like feeling overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, or finding it hard to cope in everyday life. She also offers individual therapy sessions, so you can talk through what’s going on at your own pace.
Hanan also works with couples and families. At times, relationship stress can build up quietly. In many cases it helps to sit down with a professional and work out what’s happening, how people are communicating, and what might make things feel a bit more manageable again. Family therapy can be useful when the whole household is affected, not just one person.
Alongside therapy, Hanan provides behavioural assessments. These assessments can help gather a clearer picture of how someone is coping and what supports may be useful. Depending on the situation, the focus might be on patterns of behaviour, day-to-day functioning, and practical next steps.
Hanan speaks English, Arabic, and Lebanese. This can make sessions feel easier and more comfortable, especially for people who prefer to explain things in their own language and not have to translate every detail.
Because she is a Clinical Psychologist and Forensic Psychologist as well, her work can also suit people who need support in contexts where the legal system is involved. In those situations, the aim is usually to understand what’s happening for the person and help with clear, careful mental health support. She keeps things grounded and focused, and tries to make the process feel less confusing.
Over time, therapy can help people build skills and confidence, not just talk about the past. Sessions are typically about making sense of what’s going on now, and working out what changes might help going forward. Hanan uses a calm approach and listens closely, whether you’re coming in for individual support, family stress, couples conflict, or an assessment.
