I take a practical approach to therapy, helping you develop a ‘toolkit’ of personalised strategies and coping skills, so that you feel equipped to deal with life’s challenges. I aim to empower you by helping you recognise your existing strengths and learn new psychological skills.
At Balance Centre for Mental Health Wisdom & Wellness we understand people are time poor and often cannot commit to ongoing therapy. Our approach is based on session limited evidenced based therapy. Research tells us that a large portion of people who access therapy felt better after just one session! Based on this we have developed packages to suit both long term and short-term therapy needs.
Our Approach to Therapy:
About Teena
Hi! I'm Teena. I'm a Mental Health Social Worker and I'm here to help you take control of your mental wellbeing, understand your past and learn strategies to assist you as you move forward into a hope filled future.
​
I specialise in Autism and ADHD, working with individuals, families and carers. I am an experienced mental health clinician who uses a non-judgmental and empathetic approach to treat a wide variety of difficulties in adults and adolescents. I have experience in the treatment of anxiety and depression as well as stress, relationship difficulties, low self esteem, adjustment, life transitions, problems at work, sleep difficulties, loss, grief, personality vulnerabilities and managing difficult emotions.
​
I use evidenced based treatments and tailor therapy to your individual needs. I have experience in the provision of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as mindfulness based treatments.
​
I set up Balance Centre for Mental Health with the intention of creating a safe space to explore yourself and help you become the version of you that you want to be. I provide professional psychological and coaching services to improve your mental health and develop a strategic plan for general life management.
​
I am both Autistic and ADHD’er with Neurodivergent kids, so I have first hand understanding of the good bits and the tough bits of being Neurodivergent and living in a Neurodivergent household! This is why I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents and their families as well as adults coming to terms with life outside the normal mental health boxes.
​
I am passionate about human rights and social justice issues that create disadvantage and stigma.
I'd love to have a chat to see how I can help you and your family.
