Counselling, Coaching & Wellbeing – Supporting Individuals, Families & Groups & Organisations (EAP) ! As a fully qualified and registered Counsellor with over 10 years’ experience across counselling, wellbeing, fitness, and health settings, I support people navigating overwhelm, burnout, feeling stuck, anxiety, and life transitions, as well as those seeking greater clarity, balance, and connection in their lives. Taking the step to seek support can feel daunting. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, offering a safe and supportive space to explore your experiences at your own pace.
I’m here to help! Together, we build emotional resilience, deepen self-understanding, and develop practical strategies for meaningful, lasting change. As an integrative practitioner, I tailor therapy to your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model, drawing on evidence-based approaches with a strong focus on trauma sensitivity & nervous system awareness.
Choosing a Counsellor is a personal and often vulnerable decision. I offer a complimentary 15‑minute phone consultation for new clients to ask questions, and sense whether working together feels right for you. There’s no obligation to continue.
Call or Anita Balas now for a free 15 minute consultation - (02) 8403 2244
