About Detti
Detti Balla is a BACP counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and mindfulness approaches. She draws on eight years of practice to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and other difficult life challenges. Detti aims to make sessions clear and practical so people can start using new skills quickly.
Detti helps people who are coping with depression, grief, relationship strain and the effects of trauma. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, mood disorders and career-related worries.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to multicultural and LGBT matters and to issues linked to emergency response and disaster situations. In sessions she uses a client-centred stance to listen closely and follow the person’s lead. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to identify and work with core emotions that keep people stuck.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. She applies practical strategies as needed, such as solution-focused tasks and motivational interviewing to help with change and decision making. Detti aims to give straightforward tools that fit into daily life and support gradual progress.
Detti practises from the United Kingdom and works in English. She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy accessible for different needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support
How Detti’s approaches translate to online therapy
Detti uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and work through the emotions that underlie painful patterns, such as anxiety or grief. EFT can help people change how they relate to their feelings and to themselves, often improving how they respond in everyday situations.She also uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and following the person’s pace, and mindfulness practice to build calm and present-moment awareness. These methods suit a wide range of concerns, from stress and mood difficulties to post-traumatic stress and caregiver strain.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try approaches in session, and adapt what works best. This conversation happens together, so the direction of therapy reflects your needs and choices.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction; phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can suit brief check-ins, written reflection or support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and different timezones while keeping continuity of care with BACP registered professionals.
