About Detti
Detti Balla is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and trauma. She aims to equip clients with practical tools and steady support. Detti speaks plainly and works with people to find workable steps forward.
With eight years' experience she brings a background in clinical and disaster trauma work. That experience includes supporting people affected by post-traumatic stress and compassion fatigue, and helping those facing difficult life changes.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs. Detti listens for strengths in each person's story and helps them build on those assets. Sessions are geared towards practical coping strategies, clearer communication and rebuilding everyday routines.
She also addresses relationship difficulties, grief, addiction-related concerns and mood challenges. Her work covers specific areas such as caregiver stress, first responder issues and adjusting after natural or human-caused disasters. She also supports people dealing with guilt, forgiveness, career strain and questions of life purpose.
LGBTQ concerns and multicultural issues are part of her practice focus. Sessions use straightforward techniques from client-centred, emotionally-focused and solution-focused work, together with mindfulness and motivational interviewing where helpful. Detti encourages a collaborative process so people feel involved in choosing what helps them most.
If someone is ready to begin, Detti guides them through simple next steps to set up sessions and start making changes.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Detti collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, and she adapts the mix as needs and goals change. The process is shared so the person remains involved in planning and adjusting the course of therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, between-session support or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people access therapy around work, travel or busy family time while keeping sessions practical and focused.
