Welcome to True Balance Counselling. My name is Vanessa, congratulations on taking the first step in considering sharing what you are going through, and allowing me to help guide and support you to work towards your goals. I operate a private practice in Queanbeyan NSW, Milton NSW (Shoalhaven region) and online for clients anywhere in Australia.

I became a counsellor fundamentally to help others learn, heal, grow and find balance in their life. Emotions, stress, hardship and other challenges can tip the scales and become overwhelming.

I help people struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, stress, low confidence, low mood, low self-esteem, health and fitness challenges and body weight concerns. Teens and adults are welcome, and keep checking back here for upcoming teen confidence programs launching in 2026 or register your interest via our contact page.

In addition to my counselling qualifications, I am a qualified personal trainer with over ten years of experience helping hundreds of clients achieve their health and fitness goals. If you’re struggling with your mindset and motivation when it comes to exercise or going to the gym, let’s work together.

My approach is practical and focused on empowerment and behavioural change such as through the integration of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I support clients to define and plan action steps towards their goals, creating lasting and tangible changes. I understand the challenges of balancing family life, work, and personal well-being, and I am passionate about helping my clients find their unique, individual path to improve and solidify balance, happiness, wellbeing and satisfaction in life.

New clients are welcome, no referral is required.
