Caroline Ballard

Caroline Ballard is a highly regarded and experienced counsellor who holds professional membership with the Australian Counselling Association. She is committed to offering counselling that is collaborative, respectful, and built on genuine connection. Warm and empathetic in her approach, yet growth-oriented, Caroline supports clients to explore challenges at a pace that feels right for them.

She helps people recognise patterns that may keep them feeling stuck or disconnected and explore new ways of relating to themselves and others. Caroline sees counselling as a space for self-discovery and healing, where meaningful change can unfold within the safety of a trusting relationship. Her work invites clients to connect with their inner world while also developing practical strategies that enhance wellbeing and strengthen relationships.

Caroline’s therapeutic style is integrative and person-centred, shaped by the unique needs of each client. Drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, the Gottman Method, Mentalisation-Based Therapy, and Sensory Psychomotor Psychotherapy, she works in a way that is both grounded and attuned. Informed by trauma, attachment, and existential perspectives, Caroline supports people to live more authentically, deepen their sense of connection, and move toward lives that feel meaningful and true to them.
