Brigitte has experience supporting both adults and young people who have experienced trauma and abuse, helping clients cope with grief and loss, and guiding families through parenting challenges. Her style is collaborative - she invites clients to identify what they want to change or understand, and then works alongside them to develop new ways of coping and moving forward. Brigitte recognises that asking for help requires courage, and she offers steady support aimed at empowering clients throughout their journey. She is committed to helping people discover practical tools and fresh perspectives so they can heal and build resilience in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Brigitte draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional response. This approach can be helpful for people wrestling with attachment issues, relationship difficulties, or the emotional effects of adoption and foster care.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals so that people feel heard and understood while they work toward change. This approach suits those seeking a supportive environment to process emotions and build self-esteem.

Additionally, Brigitte incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Brigitte will collaborate with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative work helps tailor sessions so therapy feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy with a licensed professional and therapist offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let people access support around work, family, or location constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life.
