True Balance Counselling

22/10/2025

Well here we are in the countdown to Christmas. I've been in practice over a year now, and have been so honoured to support all of my clients who have worked with me over the last twelve months. I will be taking bookings up until the end of the school term before I take a bit of a break and spend some time with family and friends. I'm in Milton next week and my books are open for new clients, so if you're ready to take that first step to getting some support for your mental health, unload a bit or learn some ways you can cope better with anxiety, overwhelm or low self-esteem and shyness, feel free to reach out to make a booking. Learn more about me on my website www.truebalancecounselling.com.au

Feeling constantly on edge? It could be your body stuck in “fight or flight” mode.

When this stress response is switched on too often, you might notice:

- Trouble relaxing, even in safe situations
- A racing heart or tight chest
- Irritability or feeling snappy for no reason
- Difficulty focusing or sleeping
- Cognitive issues like being more forgetful, unable to focus

Our nervous system is designed to help us survive danger — but when it’s overactive in scenarios where we are not truly in any danger, everyday life can feel exhausting.

Learning how to calm your body and mind can make a huge difference.

If you’re ready to step out of survival mode and feel more at ease, I can help.

📅 New clients welcome in Milton and Queanbeyan + Online.

There's a lot you CAN do to help. Examples include exercise, breathing exercises (this may sound lame but they really do help a lot of people!), new sleep routines, grounding exercises or activities, PMR (Progressive Muscle Relaxation) and obviously ruling out medical reasons for any ongoing symptoms.

Reach out for a chat about your needs, counselling is a space to be heard and validated, but also to learn new skills and add to your toolbox so that you can find your calm more easily, and learn how to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
