About Detti
Detti Balla is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She brings eight years of experience supporting those affected by trauma, loss, and major life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, aiming to make each session practical and easy to follow.
Detti works from the view that clients know their own stories and strengths. She helps people build skills to cope with panic, worry, and emotional overwhelm.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to fit the person’s needs and practical steps are offered between sessions. In her background she has specialised in trauma and disaster-related stress, including compassion fatigue and critical incident strain. That experience informs how she supports people who have faced sudden losses, workplace trauma, or ongoing pressure.
Detti also assists with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar spectrum issues. Her approach draws on client-centred methods, emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness and solution-focused work. These methods are used to improve emotional awareness, reduce reactivity, and set concrete goals.
Motivational interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change habits or seek new directions. Sessions can address a wide range of concerns including relationship tensions, grief, addiction, caregiver stress, and career changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through painful memories, practice new ways of coping, and plan steps towards feeling steadier.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the person’s pace to help them feel understood and make sense of their emotions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling overwhelmed.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name core emotions and patterns in relationships. It supports deeper emotional processing and can ease strong reactivity or repeated conflict by building new ways to respond. This approach often helps people recover from loss and trauma-related disconnection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time if something is not working well.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text messaging. Video is helpful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone calls suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, shorter exchanges and ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
