Welcome to Balmain Counselling

My name is Pia Kaae Toxvaerd. I am a qualified psychotherapist and Marriage Counsellor with a  degree in Counselling and Human Change, a Graduate diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling as well as further postgraduate training in relationship counselling. I have been working for the last 25 years with human change processes and I specialize in relationship counselling. I am a member of CAPA and I am passionate about helping individuals and couples regain their zest for life and love.

I strongly believe that the relationship you have with yourself impacts greatly on the relationships you are able to form with others. In my work I use skills from a number of modalities and I am greatly inspired by the Imago model for relationship counselling. Working with an IMAGO relationship counsellor can be a transformative experience that opens doors to new possibilities in your personal and professional life.  My approach emphasizes integrating mind, body, and spirit into IMAGO therapy work, along with the latest findings in clinical research. However, I believe that the most important part in counselling is to create an atmosphere of safety and being heard.
