Welcome

Thank you for visiting my website. 


I provide therapeutic counselling and EMDR therapy to individuals and clinical supervision for other counsellors.

With a warm, respectful and down-to-earth approach, my hope is that you will feel very much at ease talking to me about anything.


New Balance Counselling opened it's doors in 2013. 

My aim is to be able to offer a non-clinical, inclusive, relaxed, professional therapeutic counselling service

to anyone looking for therapy without any lengthy waiting times or limit to the amount of sessions.  


You are invited to explore your thoughts with me, and to process difficult and/or traumatic emotions and experiences. 

I view counselling as a partnership between us both, where we will be working together on your emotional healing. 

I will strive to provide the right conditions to enable you to help with whatever it is that is causing you emotional distress. 

You will be offered non-judgemental, sturdy emotional support at all times.  


I am ready, willing and able to work at great psychological depth, at your pace, in your time.  


There are so many different reasons why you may be considering counselling. Whether it's from your past, present or future, for example something specific that you've experienced like a traumatic incident or a huge life change, your current set of circumstances , or a fear of something in your predicted future. Or it may be a non-specific thing that you just can't put your finger on but is affecting how you currently feel. 


  Counselling can be challenging at times, you may experience some difficult emotions in the process. 

But more importantly it can be empowering, enlightening and life-changing. 


It may be the best decision you ever make. 


Online video & telephone sessions

The recent pandemic brought forth the need for everyone to work differently, and it was wonderful that people could still access therapy at a time when many needed it more than ever! It has become abundantly clear that online and telephone therapy is, paradoxically, similar to and different from in-person therapy, and remains the choice of many, which is why I continue to provide it.  And just like in-person sessions, the benefits of therapy online can be equally as therapeutically rich, if not moreso. 


Going online makes therapy possible for more people, more of the time, wherever they are. Counselling online is provided in the same respectful and professional manner as in-person sessions. All I ask is that you find a quiet, private space to talk during your online or telephone session, where you won't be interrupted or overheard, then grab a cuppa, and maybe a blanket, and then we can start. 


In-person sessions

I also have some availability for in-person sessions. 


It may be that you may prefer a more traditional approach to sessions, and would like to attend an actual physical therapeutic space. Some people find it useful as it can provide them with a sense of accountability, routine or structure. Others either just prefer it, or simply don't have the privacy or internet connection they need to stay home and connect online. 


My office is at Morton Park, Darlington DL1 4PJ. 

There is plenty of free parking if you drive to your appointment.

There are regular buses from Darlington and surrounding areas. 



Testimonials - EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy, May 2024

"I had 6 sessions of EMDR with Kathrine as I definitely had PTSD from a traumatic event from my past! I was unsure at first how something that seemed to simple could work. I am absolutely blown away at how this has transformed my association from the past trauma and Kathrine made me feel so safe with her amazing empathic nature. Thank you so much for bringing my life into a much more aligned state! I am no longer reliving this trauma and the triggers are no longer triggers!" (Email)

Room scent

In response to being asked many times what the lovely smell is in my therapy room, I am currently using Californian White Sage smokleless incense bricks from Aromafume. 


I have shared a link for 20% off any Aromafume product below.  This includes essential oils, natural mists, smokeless incense and aromatherapy roll-ons. 


I am a proud advocate of Aromafume, as I've used their products for a while now, and all products are sustainably sourced, vegan, and cruelty-free. 


For transparency, I will earn a very small commission. However, rather than profit personally, I promise that whatever I receive will go towards maintaining a peaceful and welcoming environment for all clients. I just wanted to share!
