About Detti
Detti Balla is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She draws on eight years of experience supporting people through difficult life events and ongoing emotional challenges. Detti aims to help people find practical ways forward and regain a sense of hope and balance.
She works from the principle that each person knows their story best. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
Background and approach
Detti helps clients build skills they can use day to day, such as grounding for trauma, ways to manage anxiety, and clearer communication for relationship strain. Her background includes work with traumatic stress and disaster-related reactions, and supporting those experiencing compassion fatigue and critical incident stress.
This experience informs how she plans sessions and chooses techniques, so clients feel understood and less overwhelmed when talking about hard experiences. Detti uses a mix of gentle listening and practical tools. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and set realistic goals.
Motivational ideas are used to support people struggling with addictions, career decisions, or life transitions. She also supports people facing grief, parenting stress, mood difficulties and identity questions within LGBT and multicultural contexts. Sessions aim to restore everyday functioning and reduce the burden of symptoms so clients can move toward clearer choices.
If someone is unsure where to start, Detti guides a short assessment and works with them to create a simple plan. She encourages curiosity and small steps as ways to build lasting change.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client, try out approaches in early sessions and adjust based on what helps most. Goals, preferences and practical needs guide the plan rather than a fixed method.
Online formats allow flexibility. Video calls replicate face-to-face conversation and are useful for deeper work. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or people who prefer typing their thoughts. These options make it easier to sustain regular contact and adapt therapy to day-to-day life.
