About Balance Haven Therapy

I'm a neuro-affirming therapist specialising in self-esteem and self-worth.

When a lack of self-esteem rules your life, it can feel like you are imprisoned by your own thoughts. You might constantly worry about your appearance, replay conversations in your head, or struggle with relentless overthinking.

​

Masking your traits to fit into a neurotypical world only adds to this burden, draining your energy daily.

 

With a professional background in crisis recovery, I understand how unhealthy coping mechanisms and chronic masking lead to severe burnout or a breaking point.

 

You do not have to navigate this alone.

​

Together, we will work in a safe, neuro-divergent friendly space to:

​

* Tell your story openly without judgment.
* Unpack the toll of masking and find your authentic self.
* Understand your strengths and unique traits.
* Overcome burnout by building healthy boundaries.
* Make peace with your life and regain control.  

​

How I work
* Calm, steady and collaborative
* Trauma‑informed and relational
* Clear explanations to help you understand what’s happening internally
* Space to slow down, reflect and make sense of your experiences
* Practical tools to help you feel more grounded and in control

 

What to expect in your first session
Your first session is a gentle introduction to working together. You are welcome to keep your camera off, move around, use fidgets, or adjust the lighting if that helps you feel comfortable. There is no expectation to sit still or make eye contact.

​

You will have plenty of time to think, pause, or come back to a point later  : we move at your processing pace. If shifting between topics feels easier, we can work that way; if structure helps, I can offer a clear agenda. The session is your space, shaped around your needs.
