About Detti
Detti Balla is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of other concerns listed in her profile. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
She uses client-centred ideas in sessions, which means conversations focus on the person's experience and priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her practice and is used to help people understand strong feelings in relationships and personal patterns. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people notice and manage stress and overwhelming thoughts.
Her background includes work with trauma, disaster response and compassion fatigue. That experience informs how she responds to someone dealing with post-traumatic stress, first-responder issues, or the aftermath of violence or disaster. She also supports people facing life changes, grief, addiction, career questions and parenting strains.
Sessions aim to identify practical steps and coping tools. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy appear in her approach to help with goal-setting and small changes that make a difference day to day. The counsellor emphasises collaboration and straightforward options rather than technical language.
Practical matters use a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. To start, use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The counsellor listens and reflects back what matters to the client, helping them clarify feelings and choices. This approach suits people who want someone to follow their lead and help them make sense of their experience. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at strong emotions and how they shape relationships and personal patterns. It helps people name difficult feelings and try different ways of responding when those feelings recur. This can be helpful for trauma-related reactions, grief, and strained personal relationships. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring. Together they decide which methods to use and can adjust the plan as you go. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by avoiding travel or making shorter check-ins possible during a break. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions that match a busy schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these choices to help sessions fit into everyday routines.Areas of expertise
