About
Audrey Batterham
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Who helps the helpers? Helping professionals are struggling to stay well in under-resourced, emotionally demanding environments. They need practical tools for sustaining wellbeing - not more work to do.
​
Through psychotherapy and organizational training, I assist high-empathy individual clients and teams of helpers to prevent and intervene in burnout. My approaches draw from twenty years in community services, my background as an adult educator and psychotherapist, and my lived experience with burnout recovery.
​
My work is grounded in the belief that many of our wounds are caused by unjust systems. With courage and compassion, we can build our personal power within these struggles that are not of our making.
​​​​
Whether you are a decision-maker in a helping organization or an individual seeking therapy, I look forward to hearing from you!

​
I work with clients who are ready to live more bravely and deepen their self worth. I create an encouraging space for you to process your experiences, find new ways of thinking, and build your confidence. I will assist you in managing difficult feelings and share tools for you to empower yourself.
​
I draw from psychodynamic, narrative, humanist, and cognitive-behavioural (CBT) modalities. I work with helping professionals and people with caring personalities who are navigating burnout, rejection sensitivity, ADHD, people-pleasing habits, systemic oppression, anxiety, depression, and the impacts of childhood traumas.
​
​
My courses and groups offer practical strategies and transformative learning experiences for people who want to reduce stress, strengthen boundaries, build self-esteem, and move forward in their lives. I use a mix of art-based activities, theatre games, guided discussion, and experiential exercises to make learning engaging and memorable. Each session creates a supportive space where participants with similar struggles learn from, inspire, and validate each other. Participants feel more empowered to manage their wellbeing.
​​
​​
My workshops, presentations, and trainings offer help for the helpers.
My workshops and presentations help students and teams in helping professions strengthen resilience, prevent burnout, and work in ways that honour both their wellbeing and their values. I bring together thought work, self-compassion, trauma literacy, and equity-focused practices to create learning that feels safe, practical, and genuinely transformative.
Compassionately designed, my workshops are trauma-informed, evidence-based, and engaging.
