Kerri-Ann Batchelor is a counsellor based in Ballarat Central, working from 6 Lowe Street (Ballarat Business Centre), Ballarat Central VIC 3350. Her role is about helping people get some breathing room in their lives when things feel heavy, confusing, or just plain too much.
Counselling with Kerri-Ann is for adults and people who want support with day to day pressures and bigger emotional moments. Many clients come in after stressful periods at work, family strain, changes in life, or when sleep and mood start to slip. In many cases, it’s not about one single event, but the build-up over time.
Sessions can be individual, which gives you space to talk through what’s going on at your own pace. At other times, group therapy can be useful too, especially if you feel like you could learn from others while also sharing your own experience in a safe, respectful way. Either way, the focus stays on practical support and real-life tools, not just talking in circles.
Kerri-Ann also offers emotional support sessions. These are for when you need steady, grounded help to work through difficult feelings, manage worry, or find a steadier way to respond when life gets stressful. She uses simple, clear approaches that aim to lower the pressure in the moment and help you build better coping habits for the future.
Stress management techniques are a key part of her work. That might look like learning to notice stress earlier, adjusting routines, and using strategies you can actually use at home, at work, and in everyday situations. If you’ve been feeling run down for a while, or you’re stuck in a cycle of overthinking, these sessions can help you slow things down and feel more in control.
Group therapy can also be a steady option for people who want connection as well as guidance. It’s not about “fixing” anyone quickly. It’s about support, learning, and making small steps that add up.
When you’re ready, you can book individual counselling or join a group session. Kerri-Ann works to keep sessions calm and down to earth, so you can focus on what you need most right now, and what might help you move forward.
