Exhausted from being everyone's go-to person?
You've been everyone's rock.
The reliable friend.
The family problem-solver.
The one who puts others first.
The one people turn to.
The reliable shoulder.
The one who always has it together.

But lately, everything feels harder.
You can't stop your mind from racing, you're completely drained, and might feel like nobody actually gets what you're dealing with. Underneath being the 'strong one', you're burnt out, don't know how to protect your energy, and there's this nagging question:
"What about me?"
​
​
​
Maybe:
You're tired all the time, even after sleeping 8 hours?
You say yes when you mean no, then feel angry about it later?
You feel guilty for having needs, then angry when no one notices them?
You automatically say 'I'm fine' even when you're definitely not?
Your shoulders and neck are constantly tight - like you're carrying invisible weight?
You're not alone.
​​
​
​
What happens when you keep doing this?
Your relationships start feeling one-sided because you've got nothing left to give, you stay stuck in the same job because asking for more feels impossible, and that little voice of frustration gets harder to ignore every day.
Maybe you've hit a wall and can't keep going like this. Maybe you're looking at your relationships wondering why they all feel the same. Or maybe you're just tired of putting yourself last while everyone else comes first.
​
​
You deserve to feel just as cared for as the people you're always looking after. And that's exactly what we can work toward together.

​
"But I should be able to handle this myself..."
If you're thinking that right now, you're exactly who this call is for.
That little voice saying you don't deserve help, or that other people have it worse?
That's the same voice that's kept you putting everyone else first your whole life.
You'd never tell your best friend to just suck it up if she came to you feeling this exhausted. You wouldn't roll your eyes or think she was being dramatic.
You'd drop everything to help her.
Why is it different when it's you?
​
It's time to give yourself the same compassion.
You're not taking up space - you matter just because you're you.
Welcome
At In Balance Psychology, we create a sanctuary for those who've always been everyone else's sanctuary.
If you're the quiet achiever, the burnout professional, the eldest daughter, the constant caregiver, the exhausted mum, the responsible one, the problem solver or the friend who's always "fine" while falling apart inside, you've found a place where you don't have to hold it all together anymore.
​
Discover what it feels like when someone else holds the space for you so you can finally breathe, sleep better, and show up as yourself instead of who everyone needs you to be.
​
Your pattern of putting others first wasn't random - it was a survival strategy that once protected you but now leaves you depleted and disconnected from yourself. Together, we'll gently unravel those old patterns, helping you reclaim your voice, set boundaries without guilt and discover what it feels like when someone else holds the space for you.
Hi, I'm Chloe
Principle Counsellor & Psychotherapist
You've mastered the art of holding it all together. Checking in on everyone, remembering birthdays, sending thoughtful texts, being the emotional support for your partner, your parents, your friends. You're the one they all turn to, because you always know what to say, what to do.
​
But at 11 PM, when the house is finally quiet, you find yourself revenge-scrolling through social media or binge-watching another show you don't even enjoy, desperately trying to find moments that feel like your own. You're exhausted, but can't seem to rest. Your body is sending signals you're ignoring. Maybe it's that persistent digestive issue, the tension headaches or the anxiety that wakes you at 3 AM. Yet somehow, you still show up perfectly put-together for everyone else tomorrow.
​
I see you because I've been you. As someone who spent years being "the strong one"—through family caregiving, health challenges and major life transitions—I understand the particular exhaustion that comes from constantly meeting others' needs while setting your own aside. This journey didn't just shape my life, it guided me from a career in law to becoming a dedicated and compassionate counsellor.
​
In our work together, you'll discover what it feels like when someone else holds the space for once. Where your feelings—all of them, even the messy ones—are valid. Where you can lower the mask of "I'm fine" and breathe into what's really happening beneath the surface. Together, we'll unpack the patterns that keep you trapped in people-pleasing and perfectionism, reconnect you with your own needs and desires, and help you create boundaries that honour both your relationships and yourself. Because you deserve to feel as cared for and prioritised as everyone else in your life.
