Detti Balla , BACP

Detti Balla is a BACP-registered counsellor, clinical and disaster trauma specialist, and educator with eight years of experience supporting people affected by PTSD, disaster trauma, compassion fatigue, and critical incident stress. She draws on specialist training in trauma and disaster response to help individuals navigate overwhelming experiences and regain a sense of stability and control.

Her approach is grounded in the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be used to overcome current obstacles. Detti works to equip clients with practical tools and coping strategies while also exploring the barriers that have kept them from finding hope and well-being. She offers compassionate, informed guidance for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, addiction, and work-related stress.

Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and Detti aims to make that step more manageable by providing steady support and clear direction. She is based in the United Kingdom and is available to work with both local and international clients who are ready to pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Approaches for online trauma-informed care and support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective and building on their strengths. In online sessions this approach helps clients explore personal goals, increase self-awareness, and make choices that feel right for them.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and process strong emotions and improve important relationships. Delivered remotely, EFT can support couples and individuals to notice emotional patterns, express needs, and develop more secure connections.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. When practised during online sessions, mindfulness techniques can be integrated into daily routines to support coping with anxiety, trauma responses, and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself and Detti collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and remains flexible so the therapeutic plan can evolve as progress is made.

Online therapy with Detti is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility around schedules and locations. These options make it easier to access regular support, fit sessions into busy lives, and continue therapy even when in-person meetings are not possible.
