Free Initial Consultation
Are you considering starting counselling but unsure where to start? At Balance Therapy I understand that choosing the right counsellor is an important and personal decision. I offer a free initial consultation - with no pressure and obligation. This can be via online video call, telephone or text chat.
This is your chance to meet me in a relaxed and confidential setting and explore whether counselling is right for you. We'll talk about what has brought you here, what you’re hoping for, and how I work as a counsellor - giving you the space to ask any questions
If it feels like a good match, we can take it from there. If not, that’s absolutely OK - this time is yours, and the choice is always in your hands.
Online Counselling Session (50 minutes)
Online counselling is just like having a regular session - but from the comfort of your own home. We’ll meet over a secure video call for an hour, and it’s your time to talk about whatever feels important to you.
There is no pressure, no judgement - just a safe space where you can be yourself. I’ll listen with care, and we’ll gently explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace that works for you.
You’ll just need a quiet, private spot, a good internet connection and device with a microphone and camera. If you are new to video calls or feeling unsure, that’s completely okay - I’m happy to walk you through it.
Online sessions can be a really flexible and supportive way to get the help you need wherever you are.

Telephone Counselling Session (50 minutes)
Telephone counselling offers a supportive and confidential space to talk, using the simplicity of a phone call. Each session lasts one hour and focuses entirely on what matters most to you.
At the start of the call, we’ll take a moment to settle in and ensure you’re comfortable. You’ll be invited to talk openly about your thoughts, feelings, or anything that’s been on your mind. As your counsellor, I’ll listen without judgement, offering empathy and support throughout our conversation.
All you need is a quiet, private place where you won’t be disturbed. Many people find that telephone counselling allows them to speak more freely, especially if they are not comfortable with video or in-person sessions.
Together, we’ll work at your pace, creating space for reflection, understanding, and personal growth - one step at a time

Live Text Chat Counselling Session (50 minutes)
Need someone to talk to, but not ready for a phone or video call? Our secure live text chat counselling offers a safe, confidential space where you can connect in real time - just by typing.
For one full hour, you’ll have my full attention, giving you space to express what’s on your mind in a way that feels more comfortable and in control. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, or just need someone to listen, text chat lets you go at your own pace - no pressure, no need to speak out loud.
It’s discreet, accessible, and all you need is a device, a stable internet connection and a quiet place to talk.

Students of Counselling & Psychotherapy
Training to become a counsellor or psychotherapist can be deeply rewarding - but it’s also demanding, emotionally challenging, and often overwhelming. That’s why I offer accessible low-cost counselling tailored especially for students in the field.
Whether you need space to reflect on personal material, process course related experiences, or simply talk things through with someone outside your training environment, I provide a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever’s coming up for you.
I understand the unique pressures of training, placement, and personal development work - and I offer flexible appointments, including weekends, to fit around your studies.

Specialist Eating Disorder Support
Struggling with food, body image, or eating patterns can feel isolating - but you don’t have to face it alone. I offer specialist online support for people affected by eating disorders, in a safe, understanding and non-judgemental space.
Whether you’re dealing with anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating or disordered eating that doesn’t fit a label, our work together will focus on you - not just the symptoms. We’ll explore your experiences with care and compassion, helping you reconnect with your body, emotions, and sense of self at a pace that feels right for you.
Sessions take place online, giving you the privacy and flexibility to access support from wherever you feel safest.
Recovery isn’t about perfection - it’s about connection. Reach out today and book a free consultation and take the first step.
