The questions people ask when they first encounter ABA.

The Anchor-Based Approach is a structured psychological methodology developed by Dr Hanan Bushkin. It helps people identify meaningful direction, translate that direction into realistic behaviour, and use review as a disciplined way to learn and move forward.

ABA uses a 15-anchor model comprising nine core anchors and six sub-anchors. Anchors are defined areas of life that help organise attention around what matters, identify where meaningful movement is needed and connect practical action with a wider sense of direction.

The principles form an ordered framework for understanding emotional states, beliefs, behaviour, investment, choice, physiology and personal strength. Their value comes from the way they work together, turning psychological insight into a practical sequence for daily life.

ABA is designed as a coherent methodology rather than a set of isolated tips. It uses consistent terminology, ordered principles, structured plans, observable behaviour, tracking and recalibration to help people work systematically with meaningful change.

ABA draws on established psychological research relevant to cognition, emotion regulation, behavioural activation, goal pursuit, implementation intentions, self-regulation, physiology and progress monitoring. These research traditions provide a strong scientific foundation for the major processes brought together in the methodology.

Yes. ABA has been applied in an early small-cohort setting, where structured delivery and participant engagement contributed practice-based insight to the continuing refinement of the methodology and its teaching.

Introductory workshops are intended for adults interested in personal development, emotional steadiness and practical forward movement. Professional pathways are designed for practitioners and organisations that want to explore ABA within their existing responsibilities and standards.

Participants are introduced to the anchor system, the nine principles and the practical sequence that connects direction, behaviour and review. The experience is structured, participatory and focused on applying the framework to real-life goals.

New cohorts are formed in response to suitable interest, audience needs and format. Prospective participants can register their interest or contact the ABA team to be considered when the next workshop is scheduled.

CPD availability is confirmed for each programme before its course date is formally announced. The official programme information will state the responsible body, points, reference and any applicable conditions.

Yes. Dr Hanan is available for selected conferences, professional forums, editorial conversations, leadership sessions and institutional discussions. Invitations can be submitted through the speaking and contact pages.

The platform is being designed as a structured environment for learning, planning, daily action and progress review. Its purpose is to make the methodology easier to practise consistently while preserving human judgement, privacy and contextual responsiveness.
