Mrs Blanca Balaguer

Professional Counselor

“I'm a warm, creative, empathic psychotherapeutic counsellor specialised in adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress & grief. A former NHS counsellor, I provide you with a space for reflection and self-healing where you can be truly heard.”

About Me

I offer a truly reflective and creative space for adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, or grief. As a psychotherapeutic counsellor, I guide you to process difficult emotions and foster self-healing. Here, you will feel genuinely heard, allowing you to explore your experiences deeply. My empathic approach is ideal for those seeking a clear path forward and a renewed sense of self.

Approach

Sessions unfold gently in a reflective, creative container where practical pacing meets emotional depth; we move at a rhythm that feels manageable while attending to difficult feelings like anxiety, grief or shame. In Brighton or online, in English or Spanish, I use steady, curiosity-led questions, short grounding practices and focused reflections to help you notice patterns, try small shifts between sessions and build clearer choices. This approach often suits adults seeking calm, clearer thinking and kinder self-understanding.
