Mind the Mind Counselling

My name is Barbara Balazs, I am a certified counsellor. My aim is to explore together with the clients what kind of issues they are facing. Then, we are working on finding the healthiest coping mechanism to deal with those challenges. You might feel stuck, or feeling like your head is full of thoughts and worries and there is just no stopping them. Therapy can help with all of these issues. 

During the sessions, my aim is to support you to gain a clearer understanding of your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Many times we get triggered by events/people/behaviours that seem to be random, and therefore it is more difficult to cope with them. My aim is to help you make more sense of those and find the best ways to handle them. 

I work by using the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) approach, combined with person centred elements and mindfulness. The sessions will always be personalised, based on the needs of the clients. 

I have been working for NHS, multinational companies, schools, universities/colleges and different charities before. Therefore, I gained experience working with a diverse group of people, which helped me understand their perspectives better.
