About us
Be Balanced
Founded in 2016, Be Balanced has been dedicated to supporting women through every stage of motherhood—from planning pregnancy to parenting. Our services include therapy, workshops, and tailored programs like Happy Bump, Happy Mum, designed to help women navigate emotional challenges, build resilience, and foster meaningful connections.
Beyond direct support, Be Balanced contributes to the broader conversation on maternal mental health through guest speaking at perinatal events, advocating for awareness and informed care. We offer individual and group sessions, both online and in person, in English and Portuguese, ensuring accessibility for women from diverse backgrounds.
At Be Balanced, we are passionate about empowering women to nurture fulfilling relationships with themselves, their children, and motherhood as a whole.
Welcome to a space where you can thrive.

Psychologist
Camila Albuquerque is an AHPRA-registered psychologist and a member of the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc. As a mother herself, she understands the emotional complexities of this journey and specialises in perinatal mental health, parenting challenges, and the impact of miscarriage and pregnancy loss. Through therapy, she helps women navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and the many transitions that come with motherhood.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), ensuring personalised and evidence-based care. She is also a guest speaker at perinatal events, advocating for greater awareness and support for women’s mental health.
In addition to her clinical work, Camila is the host of DesConstruir, a podcast dedicated to deconstructing the myths of motherhood and fostering open, honest conversations about the realities of parenting.
She offers both ongoing therapy and single-session consultations, providing a supportive and evidence-based approach tailored to each client’s needs.
