About Detti
Detti Balla is a BACP counsellor who combines practical support with emotional understanding. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and related concerns. Her approach aims to help people find clearer ways forward and rebuild a sense of steadiness.
She draws on client-centred techniques to place each person's needs and choices at the heart of sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when feelings and relationships feel overwhelming. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools offer short, practical ways to manage difficult moments and to set small achievable goals.
How Detti works
Detti has eight years of experience and brings particular knowledge of trauma, disaster-related distress and compassion fatigue. She also works with a wide range of issues including grief, addiction, mood disorders, ADHD and identity questions. That background informs how she tailors conversations and practical exercises.
Sessions are conversational and goal-minded. People can expect a mix of gentle reflection and hands-on strategies to test between meetings. Detti encourages people to build on strengths they already have and to try steps that feel doable in everyday life.
She offers support in English to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session once a suitable arrangement is found.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room and the therapist follows the client's lead. Online this means conversations that start with the client’s priorities and build at their pace, helping people explore feelings and make decisions that fit their life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when strong feelings affect relationships and personal wellbeing; in remote sessions the emphasis is on naming emotions, tracking patterns and practising new ways of responding in everyday moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree on what feels most useful based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means small adjustments can be made as therapy progresses so the method remains a good fit.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when detail and tone matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging is useful for short check-ins, quick coping strategies and people who prefer typed communication. These options help people access the kinds of therapeutic approaches described above in ways that suit their schedule and comfort.
