Welcome to True Balance Counselling. My name is Vanessa, congratulations on taking the first step in considering sharing what you are going through, and allowing me to help guide and support you to work towards your goals.

For some of us, that first step is a huge step, and considering opening up and sharing your story and your needs with a trusted, engaged and supportive listener to help you untangle the challenges in your life, can be a turning point in understanding and processing your emotions and feelings.

I became a counsellor fundamentally to help others learn, heal, grow and find balance in your life. Emotions, stress, hardship and other challenges can tip the scales and become overwhelming, reaching out for help is your strength today and I’m so happy you are here.

I help people struggling with anxiety, low confidence, low mood, low self-esteem, health and fitness challenges, weight issues. and adults working on achieving or maintaining their sobriety.

In addition to my counselling qualifications, I am a qualified personal trainer with over ten years of experience helping hundreds of clients achieve their health and fitness goals.

I welcome inquiries from all clients, including individuals in cities, or rural and remote areas who need online support. Referrals are not required.

My approach is practical and focused on empowerment and behavioural change such as through the integration of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I support clients to define and plan action steps towards their goals, creating lasting and tangible changes. I understand the challenges of balancing family life, work, and personal well-being, and I am passionate about helping my clients find their unique, individual path to improve and solidify balance, happiness, wellbeing and satisfaction in life.
